A general dentist is able to perform more in-depth dental work over a range of different treatments to improve your smile and overall oral health. A dental hygienist is a licensed oral healthcare professional who works alongside dentists to provide preventative and therapeutic care for patients. Dental hygienists are trained to focus on cleaning teeth and educating patients on how to maintain good oral hygiene, this focus makes them highly skilled in dental cleaning and a vital member of your dental team. Your local Townsville dentist and dental hygienist will often work as a team to assist you. This is why you may find yourself only seeing a dental hygienist for your dental cleaning, as they are responsible for preventing and treating oral disease by thoroughly cleaning your teeth when you go for a check-up.

It is recommended for seniors to have regular checkups and clean with their local dentist or dental hygienist every 6 to 12 months, or as advised by their dentist or dental hygienist. For seniors, regular checkups and clean are important because they are at a higher risk for dental problems such as gum disease and tooth decay. Depending on the individual's oral health and other risk factors, such as periodontal disease and dry mouth, they may be advised to attend more regularly. Contact one of our dentists in Townsville to discuss what frequency is most suitable for them.

Your annual checkups and clean may seem like a chore, but don’t put it off, this treatment is necessary for good oral hygiene and health in the short and long term. Over time, a buildup of plaque will form on your teeth, and if left unaddressed, can be more difficult for the dental hygienist to remove. Removal of heavy plaque buildup can be uncomfortable for some people but a Check-Up & Clean shouldn’t cause you any pain. At your local Townsville dental clinic, we have a range of dental professionals who prioritise patient care, ensuring you’re comfortable and smiling in no time.
