Your First Hygiene Visit
Our hygenists are trained in treating gum disease such as Gingivitis and Periodontitis and can perform deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing. At each appointment a thorough gum assessment is completed. You may notice our hygenists will also take a periodical charting of your gum measurements to ensure your condition is maintained and that you are placed on the appropriate hygiene recall. Our dental hygenists will also complete an assessment of your oral hygiene routine. Custom recommendations may be made to your routine including brushing technique and tips for interdental cleaning. Your clinician may also discuss the importance and relevance of your diet and its relationship to oral health.
At bc dental we have also introduced the EMS Airflow® technology to our preventative hygiene appointments. This advanced system uses guided biofilm therapy (GBT) to offer a gentler clean for sensitive teeth and gums.
What is guided biofilm therapy (GBT)?
Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) using the EMS Airflow® system is a modern approach to teeth polishing and cleaning that is less invasive and can in turn improve the overall patient experience. This treatment can be tailored according to individual needs and different age groups to offer an extremely comfortable and efficient clean.
