Services offered by the Dental Hygiene Clinic include:
Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Assessments: Evaluation of overall oral health, including medical assessment and head, neck, and soft tissue assessments for cancer screening.
Professional Teeth Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): Removal of plaque, calculus, and stains using a combination of ultrasonic and manual debridement techniques. This helps reduce inflammation and promote gum reattachment.

Air Polishing: A gentle method using compressed air, powder, and water to remove biofilm, plaque, stain, and early calculus, reducing the need for extensive scaling.
Fluoride Application: Topical fluoride varnish application to remineralize enamel, protect against decay and sensitivity, and recommended for individuals with a history of caries, dry mouth, or poor oral hygiene.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) Application: A topically applied, minimally invasive solution for managing active cavitated lesions on teeth and roots, suitable for early-stage cavity treatment, including in children.
Oral Health Education: Personalized guidance and demonstrations on proper oral hygiene practices and understanding dental disease prevention.
Preventive Periodontal Maintenance: Ongoing care for gum health to prevent and manage periodontal disease.
Denture Cleanings: Professional cleaning services for dentures.
The clinic emphasizes a holistic approach to dental care, recognizing the connection between oral health and overall well-being.
