Cleaning Teeth

Dental Hygiene

Dental hygienists play an essential role in maintaining long-term oral health, and at our practice, Ciara is the dedicated hygienist caring for our patients. Working Monday to Friday, she provides professional cleanings designed to remove plaque, tartar, and staining that regular brushing can’t reach. Her gentle approach helps keep your teeth looking their best while supporting the health of your gums.

Deep Cleaning for Healthy Gums

In addition to routine cleaning and polishing, Ciara also performs deeper periodontal cleanings when needed. These treatments help prevent and manage gum disease — a common issue that can affect the health of your entire mouth. Because healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile, regular visits with our hygienist are one of the most effective ways to protect your teeth and maintain long-term oral wellness.

Did You Know?

Gum Health Matters

Up to half of adults experience some form of gum disease, often without noticeable symptoms. Regular hygiene visits help prevent issues before they become serious.

Professional Cleaning Reaches More

Even the best brushing routine only removes plaque from about 60% of tooth surfaces. Hygienist cleanings reach the areas your toothbrush can’t.

Deep Cleanings Are Preventative

A deep clean is not just for existing gum problems — it can help stop early inflammation from progressing and support long-term gum health.
