Dental Hygiene

Dental Hygiene is one of the most important aspects of dentistry, as a matter of fact as important as tooth decay itself.

Gum disease is one of the most main reasons for losing teeth, and regular professional dental hygiene is the only way to prevent gum disease from being established, this has been proven through lots of studies through the years.

Dental Hygiene is not just teeth cleaning and polishing, as tartar will develop under the gums, as well as over the teeth themselves causing staining. The deep sub-gingival tartar is the main causative factor of gum disease, especially when existing with other factors like smoking, diabetes and other medical conditions.

At Albany Village Dental. we take Dental Hygiene very seriously, and we provide a regular through service for our clients, to keep their gums and supportive tissue in a healthy status, which will maintain the health of the teeth on long term.

Regular hygiene care and assessment is a must for all adults. Bleeding gums, gingival swelling, bad breath, and pain are all common signs of gum problems. If you have experienced any of that we recommend having the teeth and gums checked and treated.

Dental Hygiene also involves a discussion about your regular daily care, methods and techniques used and preferred in brushing and inter-dental treatment. Each case is different and a customized daily care plan is usually needed to archive the best better results from day to day.

The cost of regular dental hygiene is between $140 and $160, depending on the length of time needed. 

Gum disease treatment can be different than routine dental hygiene, and it will depend on the complexity, and how advanced the case is. At our North Shore Dental Clinic we provide several options for gum disease treatment, and this can be tailored according to the case and needs. All options are discussed through your dental examination and assessment with our experienced dentists.
