FAQs
A: None of the hygiene treatments should be painful. However, if there is any soreness or discomfort you should let the hygienist know right away. An anaesthetic cream can be applied to the gums to prevent any pain while your teeth are being descaled.
A: Yes, it’s a good idea to book appointments with the hygienist for your children. It will be useful for your children to have their teeth polished, but the dental hygienist can also check their brushing and flossing technique and provide guidance.
A: the precise amount of time you’ll need depends on the condition of your teeth. As a general rule, you should allow one hour for your first appointment and 30-45 minutes for any subsequent appointments.
A: No. If your teeth need to be polished or descaled, your dentist may refer you to the hygienist. However, you can still book an appointment with the hygienist whenever you feel you need to without diverting through the dentist first.
