What is a dental hygienist?
Dental hygienists, together with your dentist play an important part in keeping your teeth and gums healthy. As the name suggests, dental hygienists focus on the hygiene of your teeth, gums and mouth and how this impacts your oral health. We believe in a preventative approach to dentistry. Dental hygienists do important work in ensuring your mouth is clean and healthy which in turn prevents more serious issues such as cavities, tooth decay and gum disease from occurring.
Latest research has identified two-way links between gum disease and other conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and dementia, thus emphasising that oral hygiene is vital for overall health. At Levitas Dental Clinic, where our ethos surrounds holistic care, overall health is something we strive to achieve. Our multidisciplinary team of dentists, hygienists, specialists and on site doctors will work together to prevent periodontal (gum) disease and maintain meticulous oral health.
