Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Dental Hygiene care with Dr. Rosana 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 patient education on 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 because they remove plaque that hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental hygienist. Tartar buildup can lead to cavities and gum disease, so regular cleanings are vital for maintaining a healthy smile.

What happens during a routine dental cleaning appointment?

During a routine cleaning, Dr. Rosana will review your medical history, perform an oral cancer screening, remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and provide personalized oral hygiene instructions to help you maintain and improve your oral health.

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

Dr. Rosana, our dental hygienist, plays a vital role in making dental visits positive and preventive for children. She gently cleans teeth, applies fluoride, and teaches both children and parents proper brushing techniques in a fun, encouraging way to establish good oral health habits.

How can you help prevent gum disease (gingivitis)?

Dr. Rosana, our Registered Dental Hygienist, plays a crucial role in preventing gingivitis. She meticulously removes plaque and tartar buildup, which causes gum inflammation, both above and below the gumline. She also provides essential education on proper home care to maintain healthy gums between visits.

Are dental sealants just for kids?

While sealants are often recommended for children and teens, they can also be beneficial for adults with deep grooves in their teeth who are at higher risk for cavities. They create a protective barrier, preventing decay and protecting vulnerable areas.

What is the purpose of an oral cancer screening?

An oral cancer screening is a simple, painless examination where Dr. Rosana, RDH, and the dentist visually inspect your tongue, gums, cheeks, and other soft tissues for any abnormalities. Early detection is key to successful treatment, making this a potentially life-saving procedure.

How can I prevent my teeth from getting stained?

The best way to prevent teeth staining is a combination of good oral hygiene at home and regular professional cleanings to remove plaque, which traps stains. Limit staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, and rinse your mouth with water afterward.
