Dental Hygiene Appointments
Dental Hygiene Appointments
Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important steps in keeping your teeth and gums healthy throughout your life. While daily brushing and flossing are essential, professional cleanings go beyond what you can achieve at home. At Faye’s Dental in Montague, PEI, our dental hygiene appointments are designed to remove buildup, protect your enamel, and give you the confidence that your smile is in excellent health.
Why Routine Hygiene Appointments Matter
Even with the most diligent brushing, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Left untreated, this buildup can lead to gum inflammation, cavities, and eventually more serious dental problems. Regular hygiene visits allow our team to carefully clean your teeth, monitor gum health, and address any concerns early. Preventive care not only saves time and money in the long run but also helps you maintain a fresh, healthy smile.
What to Expect During Your Visit
A typical hygiene appointment at Faye’s Dental is comfortable and thorough. Here’s what you can expect:
- Scaling and Polishing – Our hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup, followed by a polish to leave your teeth feeling smooth and refreshed.
- Fluoride Treatment (if required) – Fluoride is applied to strengthen enamel and provide additional protection against decay.
- Oral Cancer Screening – We examine the soft tissues of your mouth to detect early signs of abnormalities.
- Perio-Charting – Your gum health is assessed and recorded to monitor any changes over time.
- Personalized Care Tips – We’ll provide advice tailored to your needs, such as brushing techniques or product recommendations to support your oral care routine at home.
Every step is designed with your comfort in mind. Our gentle approach ensures that even patients who feel nervous about dental visits can relax and feel at ease
