Hygiene Services in Halifax, Nova Scotia - Dentist in Halifax

During these appointments, we will "scale" your teeth - removing tartar build-up - and polish the surface - removing minor stains. You may also receive a fluoride treatment to help fight decay.

But these visits are more than simply a professional cleaning - they are a key part of preventative maintenance. The visits provide an opportunity for us to tell you if you are brushing and flossing correctly, and examine your teeth and gums for potential problems.

If your teeth require restorative work, it's important to find out as soon as possible in order to prevent the decay from spreading.

It's also important to have your gums inspected, because periodontal disease (gum disease) can lead to serious health problems - including heart attacks.

Regular hygiene visits allow Dr. Fifield, Dr. Cullinan, Dr. Peddle and their team to spot problems and take action immediately - preventing the issues from getting worse.
