Your Hygienist is a highly educated, licensed professional that does more than &#8216;just clean&#8217; teeth. Making an appointment to see your Hygienist at least every six months is a very important part of keeping your smile healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     When you see the Hygienist, she\/he will first check your health history. You may need x-rays. Then your Hygienist will remove calculus &amp; bacteria filled plaque from your teeth &amp; apply preventive materials, such as fluoride.  The Hygienist will also check for oral cancer &amp; screen you for other conditions or abnormalities of the mouth. The Hygienist may take impressions if you need them. You will also be educated about appropriate oral hygiene at home.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>               Your hygienist works very diligently to keep your smile healthy. So, remember to schedule an appointment with your hygienist at least twice per year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.longislandcrownsbridgesimplants.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/tooth-4023604_1280-1024x649.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/longislandcrownsbridgesimplants.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/tooth-4023604_1280-1024x649.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/longislandcrownsbridgesimplants.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/tooth-4023604_1280-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/longislandcrownsbridgesimplants.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/tooth-4023604_1280-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/longislandcrownsbridgesimplants.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/tooth-4023604_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oral hygiene is an integral part of your overall health &amp; your Dental Hygienist is an important member of your dental team.
