Understanding the Crucial Role of Dental Hygienists in Oral Health
Dental hygienists are often the unsung heroes in the journey toward optimal dental health. Their specialized training goes beyond routine cleanings — they play a vital role in prevention, early detection, and patient education. At Kensington Dental Studio, our hygienists are passionate about empowering patients to take control of their oral hygiene routines.
The Scope of Dental Hygienist Services
- Professional Dental Cleanings: Removing plaque, tartar buildup, and stains that regular brushing can’t eliminate, thereby reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Periodontal Care: Assisting in early diagnosis and management of gum disease, including procedures like deep cleanings (scaling and root planing).
- Oral Health Education: Teaching proper brushing, flossing techniques, and dietary advice to maintain long-term oral health.
- Fluoride Treatments and Sealants: Providing protective treatments that strengthen enamel and prevent decay, especially in high-risk populations such as children and adults with a history of cavities.
The Impact of Regular Dental Hygiene Appointments
Consistent visits to a dental hygienist not only keep your teeth and gums clean but also offer an opportunity for early detection of issues such as cavities, gingivitis, and other oral health concerns. Early intervention can prevent more invasive procedures, saving time, discomfort, and expenses in the long run.
The Art and Science of Dental Fillings: Restoring Function and Aesthetics
Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments in dentistry. They serve to permanently repair teeth damaged by decay, fractures, or wear. At Kensington Dental Studio, our approach to dental filling procedures combines the latest advancements in materials and techniques with a gentle, patient-centered approach.
Types of Dental Fillings We Offer
- Composite Resin Fillings: Tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with natural teeth, offering excellent aesthetics alongside durability.
