Dental Hygiene Appointments in Vancouver

Dental hygiene is critical for maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile. At BC Perio Dental Health & Implant Centre, we recommend our patients visit our clinic for a professional cleaning every six months.

Why Do You Need a Professional Cleaning?

When food particles accumulate between the teeth and gums, they form a sticky substance called plaque. When plaque is left on the teeth, it hardens into tartar, which is difficult to remove with regular brushing. This build-up of dental plaque can lead to several dental conditions, including gingivitis, cavities, tooth infection, and tooth loss.

What to Expect During Your Hygiene Appointment

Your dental hygienist will use special tools to remove any stubborn tartar. They will also let you know of any areas with significant build-up and provide tips on brushing and flossing techniques to reduce the build-up of plaque.
