Dental Hygiene & Hygienist

Downsview Dental Hygiene & Hygienist in North York

Our team is devoted to providing excellent oral hygiene care to patients of all ages.  During your visit we will complete a review of your dental care history and we will also complete an oral exam.  Upon completion of the exam, we will provide you with the treatment options available.

• Teeth cleaning
• Periodontal and dental exam
• X-rays
• Oral hygiene assessment, recommendation and treatment
• Nutritional counselling
• Desensitizing
• Fluoride

Periodontal assessment is a necessary element to every dental hygiene exam.  If early periodontal disease is detected, there is a great chance that the negative impacts can be reversed with ongoing and regular visits to our dental office.  If the disease is in a more advanced stage, it can be treated with non-surgical therapy which may include cleaning below the gum line with antibacterial treatments.  If this is a severe case of gum disease, the patient will be referred to a periodontist with surgery being a possibility in order to stop it from spreading and/or slowing or minimizing the progression.  The staff will provide feedback and advise on maintaining good oral hygiene and some prevention techniques for the patient.
