Dental Hygiene and Teeth Cleaning Edmonton

More than a cleaning

A hygiene visit with our registered dental hygienists is a careful look at your whole mouth. Your visit can include a review of your medical history, lifestyle and nutrition, an exam of your gums, tongue, bone and teeth, and a head and neck screening. We also evaluate your gums and map your teeth and gums, and may use digital X-rays and photographs when they help.

Cleaning with Guided Biofilm Therapy

We use Guided Biofilm Therapy with EMS Airflow, an approach developed in Switzerland that can reduce the need for traditional scraping tools. First, a purple dye shows where biofilm is hiding. Then a warm mist with a fine powder lifts away biofilm, early tartar and stains. The powder is intended to be suitable for use around fillings, crowns, braces and implants.

Afterward we check for anything left behind, which also helps us spot cavities, and we recommend a recall schedule that fits you.

Protecting what you have

Catching problems early can keep treatment smaller. Healthy gums and a clean mouth also help protect dental work you already have, from older fillings to Bioclear restorations. That is why we treat hygiene as part of tooth preservation.

Care for each stage of life

Hormonal changes through life can affect your mouth, and many of us put off dental care until something hurts. We tailor your visits to your needs, which may include more frequent visits at certain times. Read more on our preventive dentistry page, and bring the kids along too: see children’s dentistry.
