Unless you’re scheduled for a restorative procedure you will most likely spend as much or more time with your dental hygienist as with your dentist. Take this opportunity to ask about any new over the counter toothpastes and mouthwashes that you’ve been hearing about or if she thinks that you could benefit by switching from your manual toothbrush to an electric model, for instance.
Before she cleans your teeth, your hygienist will ask if you’ve noticed any new issues since your last visit. Don’t hesitate to mention recent symptoms; early diagnosis is to your advantage. Visit our Elite Smiles website, https://www.elitesmileslou.com to learn about our dental hygiene visits.
