At Rbg Clinic, we emphasize the importance of hygienists in dental practices. We are fortunate to have a well-established team with years of experience. Their work is essential not only for the dentist but also for the patient.
Dental hygienists promote dental health to prevent oral problems and diseases. They help patients improve their oral hygiene and nutrition.
They perform treatments such as teeth whitening, which are always supervised by the dentist.
Functions of the dental hygienist
Among his most notable tasks are:
- Application of topical fluorides
- Placement and removal of retraction threads and rubber dam
- Sealing cracks
- Tartar removal, staining and dental polishing
- Realization of whitening supervised
- Education in hygiene and healthy habits
It is advisable to have your dental hygiene checked at your trusted clinic. At Rbg Clinic we always recommend regular check-ups, even if there are no previous complaints.
Healthy habits and nutrition for a healthy mouth
Hygienists also advise you on your diet. Some key foods include:
1. Milk and all its derivatives
They provide calcium to teeth, which is essential for repairing tooth enamel. Cheese helps strengthen tooth surfaces, and yogurt is very helpful for remineralizing teeth.
2. Fruits and vegetables
Apples, carrots and celery have a plaque-scavenging effect. They clean teeth and help prevent gum inflammation. In general, fruits and vegetables help remove plaque and food debris from teeth because they boost saliva production.
3. Water and the importance of being well hydrated
Stimulates salivation. If we are not well hydrated, the body conserves water and produces less saliva. It is recommended to drink between 1.5 and 2 liters of water a day.
The work of a dental hygienist is just as important as that of a dentist. At RBG Clinic, we recommend regular checkups, even if you're not in pain, to prevent rather than treat. Your smile will thank you for it.
