Preventive – Hygienist

The most important dental care a patient requires is preventive treatment. A cleaning at the hygienist at least twice a year will remove plaque buildup from your teeth that regular tooth brushing cannot remove. Our hygienist, Dorit, was trained at the haddasah dental hygienist program and maintains an Israeli hygienist license. She will perform a thorough cleaning and will instruct you in oral hygiene techniques.
Another key to good oral health is fluoride, a mineral that helps prevent carries and can repair teeth in the very early stages of disease. In our office, topical fluoride is regularly applied directly to the tooth enamel in children and young adults.
