Dental Hygienists assist Dentists in treating patients and helping them to achieve optimal dental health and well-being. At Alaska House Dental Practice, our highly qualified and caring Dental Hygienists will work with you to determine the best oral hygiene routine for your individual needs.

Dental Hygienists use preventive, educational and therapeutic methods to help prevent oral diseases whilst helping patients to achieve and maintain oral health. Just a few of the tasks Dental Hygienists perform include;

• Educating and counselling children and adults on dental health, plaque control, oral hygiene and nutrition
  
  
• Removal of deposits and stains from teeth by scaling and root planning.
  
  
• Assisting in the prevention and control of dental caries (decay) and gum disease.
  
  
• Make impressions of patients' mouths for the construction of bleaching trays and mouth guards.
  
  
• Instruct patients on how to look after their teeth and gums after oral surgery

During your visit, our Dental Hygienist will evaluate the health of your gums and discuss their condition with you. Our Dental Hygienist will clean and polish your teeth and apply solutions to prevent decay. We recommend that you visit our Dental Hygienist twice each year to keep your teeth in great shape.
