Dental Hygiene in Coquitlam

Food particles build up between the teeth and gum line and harden over time. In the early stages, this plaque build-up can generally be removed by regular brushing and flossing. However, as the plaque hardens, it becomes difficult to remove and can affect the integrity of the teeth and gums. Regular dental hygiene appointments help combat this problem and keep your teeth healthy over time.

What to Expect

Our dental hygienists are highly trained and will work to gently remove stubborn tartar on the surface of your teeth and below the gum line. They will also point out areas of heavy build-up and advise you on brushing and flossing techniques that will help to combat the problem.

Dental Hygiene at Home

While routine dental scaling is an important aspect of preventive oral care, it is also important to take care of your teeth at home. Regular brushing with high-quality toothpaste is the foundation of good oral hygiene. We recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing every day for optimal benefit.
