What can your dental hygienist do for you? That will depend on how you take advantage of the time spent with her. Part of the hygienist’s job is to keep up with the many new over the counter dental products that are becoming available every day. If you’re experiencing an increase in teeth sensitivity to hot or cold drinks for instance, you may benefit from a specially formulated toothpaste or gel for the relief of your symptoms. Gum disease is more likely to affect us as we age; if you’re noticing early signs of gingivitis be sure to alert your hygienist. Visit our Dr. Timothy R.
