Dental Hygienists

Meet our dental hygienists! Dental hygienists are oral health professionals who specialise in the care and maintenance of your gums and teeth. At Canaan Dental Surgery, our experienced hygienists focus on preventing and treating gum disease by performing professional cleanings, removing plaque and tartar build-up, and polishing teeth. They also educate our patients on proper brushing and flossing techniques to maintain healthy gums and offer guidance on oral hygiene at home. Additionally, they take X-rays, apply fluoride treatments, and help detect early signs of oral health issues. While they don't diagnose or treat major dental conditions, our hygienists play a vital role in protecting and nurturing your gum health for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
