A dental hygienist primarily focuses on prevention. The dental hygienist prevents cavities and gum disease (gingivitis, periodontitis). The dental hygienist also focuses on treatments that are aimed at healing, like treating gum disease. Do you suffer from bad breath, are your teeth discoloured or do you have bleeding gums? The dental hygienist can help with these and other complaints. You do not need a referral or permission from your dentist to visit the dental hygienist.
Should the treatment not be possible or not go well, we will be happy to refer you to a specialised centre. This is where dentists work who have been specially trained in treating anxious patients. After all, the most important thing is that you get the care you deserve.
