The role of dental hygienists in our practice

Writer's picture: Sheen DentalSheen Dental

At our dental practice, Sheen Dental, we place a high value on the role of a hygienist Richmond. These professionals are an integral part of our team, working alongside our dentists to promote good oral hygiene and prevent dental problems.

Dental hygiene teams are responsible for a variety of tasks, including cleaning teeth, polishing teeth, applying fluoride and other treatments, and taking X-rays. They also play a crucial role in educating our patients about proper oral hygiene habits and recommending products based on their needs.

Not only do our hygiene teams help to maintain the oral health of our patients, but they also play a vital role in detecting problems in their early stages. By taking X-rays and performing regular cleanings, they can identify issues such as tooth decay and infections that may not be visible during a visual examination.

The benefits of regular dental hygiene appointments

At our practice, we encourage our patients to schedule regular dental hygiene appointments in addition to their regular check-ups with the dentist. These appointments play a vital role in maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems.

During a dental hygiene appointment, our hygienist Richmond will remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums, polish the teeth, and apply fluoride and other treatments as needed. They will also take X-rays to ensure that the teeth and gums are healthy, and provide education on proper oral hygiene habits.

Regular dental hygiene appointments can help to prevent problems such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss, as well as detecting issues in their early stages when they are most easily treatable. By keeping up with these appointments, our patients can enjoy better oral health and a beautiful, confident smile.

Scale and polish

This is a common dental procedure that is typically performed by our hygiene teams. It involves the removal of plaque and tartar (also known as calculus) from the surfaces of the teeth, as well as polishing the teeth to give them a smooth and shiny finish.

A scale and polish is important for maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing dental problems. Plaque and tartar, which build up on the teeth over time, lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not removed regularly. A scale and polish helps to remove this build-up, reducing the risk of these issues and maintaining the overall health of teeth and gums.

In addition to its preventive benefits, a scale and polish can also improve the appearance of the teeth. By removing stains and polishing the surface of the teeth, dental hygiene teams can help to give patients a brighter and more attractive smile.

The importance of choosing a highly qualified dental hygiene team

When choosing a dental hygiene team for your oral healthcare needs, it is important to ensure that they are qualified and licensed. These teams must have completed a dental hygiene programme at an accredited institution and pass a licensing exam in order to practice.


At our practice, we take pride in hiring only the most qualified and experienced dental hygiene experts. Our hygienist Richmond is not only skilled in their technical duties, but they are also compassionate and committed to providing the best possible care to our patients.
