Dental Hygienists are one of the most important people in helping you achieve oral health. As a licensed dental professional, they have the skills required for a variety of dental treatments.
Our hygienists at Cambrian Dental are strong listeners and trained practitioners. They are your go-to for everything from specific treatments including scaling and screening, to taking notes of your oral and medical history. They can educate you on your oral health and how to maintain it.
Oral cancer is one of the most concerning issues in today’s medical world and often occurs as a result of disregard for proper oral health. If not discovered and treated early enough, this cancer can result in serious health problems or even death.
Our hygienists know how to recognize the signs of oral cancer. If they find anything suspicious during their examination, they can prepare you for treatment. The hygienist will make note of any asymmetry or skin changes such as crusts or colour change. The next step involves feeling for precursor tissue differences like a lump in your neck or thick feeling in your cheek. If signs of pre-cancerous lesions are discovered, a biopsy may be scheduled to examine cells that are sent to a lab for tests. By carefully analyzing your face, neck and head, our dental hygienists are able to provide you with this important screening.
2. Dental CleaningsEveryone needs their teeth cleaned. This routine treatment should be performed at least twice a year to keep your mouth free from harmful bacteria. Who performs dental cleanings? Our hygienists at Cambrian Dental use intra-oral cameras and x-rays to take a detailed look at your teeth and gums. Hygienists use the pictures to identify areas of plaque and tartar buildup that cause cavities and need removing. Plaque and tartar are removed from your teeth, during your dental cleaning, before polishing them to a clean and hygienic state.
Cleanings help prevent tooth decay and gum disease by removing germs that build up over time. By visiting our dental hygienists you’ll walk out of our office with that squeaky clean feeling in your mouth.
Why is it beneficial for me to get a sealant? Sealants help protect your teeth from decay. Your dental hygienists can apply sealants to your teeth in order to keep food particles from sticking in your molars. This thin coating is placed as a protective shield on your teeth to help prevent cavities.
Dental sealants are often recommended for your child’s primary teeth as well. Using our top of the line dental tools, your dental hygienist is able to seal your molars deep into the depressions and grooves, where a toothbrush is unable to reach. By sealing these hard to reach areas, your hygienist helps keep your teeth in top shape.
4. Teeth WhiteningTeeth whitening is a popular cosmetic treatment. Our hygienists can help give you that beautiful picture-perfect smile with a professional whitening. What are some of the benefits of getting my teeth whitened? Professional whitening can remove most surface stains on your teeth and allow them to become stronger. Having your hygienist perform a whitening treatment for you is quick, painless and easy. With a bright new look, your mouth will feel fresh and your bright smile will give you the self-confidence to get out there and seize the day.

Before treatment is started for any dental procedure, it is vital to know about your medical and dental history. This history helps us determine the right treatment for you and avoid any negative reactions due to allergies or medical conditions. Our hygienists listen to everything you have to tell us, take detailed notes and ask as many questions as possible to get to know you. Your history is the basis for our dental treatments. With a complete understanding of your concerns and issues, we are able to personalize your treatment.
Armed with the knowledge of who you are and your dental history, our hygienists at Cambrian Dental are able to instruct you on the best methods for keeping your oral health.
