Before the Visit
Arrive Early: We recommend arriving about 10-15 minutes early for your appointment. This allows time for any necessary paperwork and to calmly prepare for the procedure.

Hygiene Visit Procedure
Welcome and Medical Interview
At the beginning of the visit, you will be welcomed by our hygienist. They will gather information about your overall health and the health of your mouth.
You will be asked questions about your oral hygiene habits, dietary habits, and any possible ailments.
Initial Examination
Before starting the actual procedure, the hygienist will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth to assess the condition of your gums, teeth, and mucous membranes.
If necessary, X-rays will be taken to better visualize the condition of the teeth and roots.
Scaling and Debridement
The hygienist will use ultrasonic and manual tools to remove tartar and plaque from the surfaces of your teeth and interdental spaces.
This procedure is painless, though some patients may experience slight discomfort.
Air Polishing
Next, air polishing is performed, which involves removing fine deposits and stains using a special device that sprays a fine powder.
Air polishing allows for more thorough cleaning of the tooth surfaces and restores their natural whiteness.
Polishing
Patient’s may prefer polishing paste and a special brush, giving them smoothness and shine.
Polishing also helps reduce the risk of new deposits forming.
After the Visit
Recommendations: After the procedure, the hygienist will provide you with detailed recommendations for ongoing oral care, including proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Follow-up: A follow-up appointment for a check-up or another hygiene visit will be scheduled to ensure continuity of care for your oral health.
