Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dental Hygiene care with Dr. Nathalie RDH:

What is a Dental Hygienist, and what is their primary role in my oral health?

A Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) is a licensed oral healthcare professional specializing in preventive care. Their primary role is to prevent oral disease through professional cleanings, screenings, and by educating patients on proper home care.

Why do I need a professional cleaning if I brush and floss every day?

While daily brushing and flossing are essential, professional cleanings are crucial. Plaque hardens into tartar (calculus) that can only be removed by a hygienist. This critical step helps prevent cavities and gum disease.

What happens during a routine dental cleaning appointment?

During your routine dental cleaning appointment with Dr. Nathalie RDH, we will review your medical history, perform an oral cancer screening, remove plaque and tartar buildup, and polish your teeth. Personalized oral hygiene instructions will be provided to help you maintain optimal oral health.

Do you offer teeth whitening services?

Yes, we offer professional teeth whitening services. We provide both in-office whitening and custom take-home trays, allowing you to achieve a brighter smile safely and effectively under professional guidance, minimizing the risk of sensitivity.

What is the connection between gum disease and heart disease?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, can contribute to inflammation throughout the body. This chronic inflammation is linked to heart disease and other health problems. Regular dental cleanings help reduce this inflammatory burden, supporting your overall health.

How can I prevent my teeth from getting stained?

Preventing tooth stains involves a combination of good oral hygiene at home and regular professional cleanings to remove plaque. Limiting staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, and rinsing your mouth with water afterward can also help.

How can you help me manage bad breath (halitosis)?

The vast majority of bad breath originates from bacteria in the mouth. A thorough professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar is the most important first step. We can also provide specific instructions on tongue cleaning and home care to prevent it from returning.

What is the hygienist's role during a child's dental visit?

Dr. Nathalie, our Registered Dental Hygienist, plays a vital role in making your child's dental visit positive and preventive. She gently cleans their teeth, applies fluoride treatments, and teaches both the child and parent proper brushing techniques in a fun and encouraging way, building a foundation for a lifetime of good oral health.
