As dental hygienists our top priority is to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums for life. Your health is extremely important to us and we take it very seriously. There are many reasons in which regular hygiene visits are imperative to maintaining a healthy body.
To Maintain Healthy Gums
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. During your hygiene recall visits we regularly check the health of our patients’ gums through diagnostic radiographs and soft tissue measurements. If gum disease is detected early it can be treated and reversed. If it is not treated in its early stages a more advanced stage of gum disease and treatment may follow.
To Maintain Good Oral Health
Life can be busy; it is easy to get off track with your oral health. By having regular visits we will help to ensure that you are maintaining good oral health through homecare technique. If you fall off track you can count on us to get you back on the right path!
To Maintain Good Physical Health
Recent studies have linked heart disease, diabetes, preterm deliveries and obesity to poor oral hygiene. Regular visits to your hygienist will help you maintain good oral health and possibly prevent many linked systemic diseases.
To Prevent Oral Cancer
In the United States alone, one patient dies every hour of oral cancer. Oral cancer is on the rise in the U.S. because of it’s relation to the Human Papillomavirus. If diagnosed early, oral cancer is highly curable. Dream Smile Dental uses advanced cancer screening technology called Velscope. Using Velscope your hygienist is able to detect oral cancer at cell formation. This will decrease loss of life related to oral cancer in the United States.
To Have a Bright and White Smile
Your hygienist can remove most coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco stains. The result? A whiter and brighter smile! The oral hygiene section at your local store can be very overwhelming. We are here to narrow it down and help you decide what is best for you.

To Maintain Healthy Strong Teeth
Dental examinations are routine during your hygiene visit. Early detection of teeth grinding, tooth fractures, etc will prevent loss of your teeth. Healthy teeth for life is our goal. Keeping your teeth means better chewing function, and ultimately better health. Inadequate return for examinations is the most significant reason for prostheses failure. Our work at Dream Smile Dental is guaranteed. To maintain this guarantee we stress maintaining your hygiene appointments at the intervals recommended by your dentist or hygienist.
To Prevent Bad Breath
Did you know that 85 percent of people with persistent bad breath, also known as halitosis have a dental problem to blame? Good oral health is essential in preventing bad breath. Regular hygiene visits and dental exams are the best way to maintain optimal oral health.
To Detect Dental Problems Early
Your dentist and hygienist will be able to detect any early signs of problems concerning your teeth or gums. Early detection of cavities, broken fillings, weak enamel and gum disease are treatable. If these problems go untreated, root canals, gum surgery, and removal of teeth could become the only options available. By detecting problems early it can prevent unnecessary pain, time and money spent.
To Create a Treatment plan
Advancements in dental technology can be confusing. Take advantage of your time with our hygiene department. We are here to answer any questions you may have about treatment planned, treatment you may be interested in, or treatment you may have heard about.
To Use Your Dental Insurance Plan
As we all know dental insurance doesn’t go very far this day in age. Insurance does however recognize that prevention is the key to a healthy mouth; therefore most insurance covers 100% of cleanings and radiographs. Use your insurance to your full advantage. If unused it is essentially your money wasted. Save money in the long run by avoiding costly dental procedures that can result from poor oral hygiene.
