Dental Hygiene

Dental Hygiene is the practice of maintaining one's oral health. It includes brushing teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist regularly. Professionals known as dental hygienists are responsible for providing preventive dental care, which includes cleaning teeth, removing plaque and calculus, and applying preventive materials to teeth and gums. They may also provide educational information to the patient on proper oral hygiene and the use of fluoride. Additionally, they may take x-rays and make impressions of teeth. The goal of a dental hygienist is to provide the patient with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain good oral health.
