Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Assessment     

 Thorough evaluation of a patient's oral health status performed by a dental hygienist. It involves gathering information about the patient's overall health, oral hygiene practices, dental and medical history, and performing a clinical examination of the oral cavity. The assessment helps the dental hygienist identify any oral health issues, assess the patient's risk for dental diseases, and develop an individualized treatment plan.  
                                                                             
Here are some components typically included in a comprehensive dental hygiene assessment:
 

Also known as dental scaling or deep cleaning, is a common dental procedure performed to remove tartar (hardened plaque) and bacterial deposits from the surfaces of teeth, both above and below the gumline. It is an essential part of maintaining good oral health and preventing gum disease.

Benefits of scaling include:
 

Scaling

 Is a common dental procedure performed by dental professionals to remove plaque, stains, and other surface imperfections from the teeth. It is typically done as part of a routine dental cleaning or oral hygiene maintenance visit.

The primary goal of dental polishing is to achieve a smooth and shiny surface on the teeth, which can help prevent the buildup of plaque and bacteria.                                                                                      
Polishing typically involves the use of a dental handpiece with a rotating rubber cup or a brush attachment.

A special polishing paste is applied to the rubber cup or brush. The paste usually contains abrasive particles that help remove surface stains and smooth out the tooth surfaces.

Teeth polishing

Known as desensitization, is a dental procedure aimed at reducing tooth sensitivity. Tooth sensitivity occurs when the tooth's underlying dentin becomes exposed, leading to discomfort or pain when exposed to certain stimuli, such as hot or cold temperatures, sweet or acidic foods, or even brushing.                    

Desensitizing Agents: Dental professionals may apply desensitizing agents directly to the sensitive areas of the teeth. These agents can include varnishes or bonding agents that help seal and protect.                      

It's important to note that tooth sensitivity can be caused by various factors, including tooth decay, gum disease, teeth grinding, cracked teeth, or a worn tooth enamel. Therefore, it's essential to visit a dentist to determine the underlying cause of the sensitivity and to receive appropriate treatment.

Teeth Desensitizing   

Dental treatment used to prevent tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel. It is a highly concentrated form of fluoride that is applied to the teeth as a protective coating. The varnish is typically painted onto the teeth using a brush or applicator.  The application of fluoride varnish is a quick and straightforward procedure typically performed by dentists, dental hygienists, or other qualified oral health professionals. The teeth are cleaned and dried before the varnish is applied. The varnish sets quickly upon contact with saliva, so there are no eating or drinking restrictions after the procedure.
Fluoride varnish is particularly beneficial for individuals at high risk of tooth decay, such as children, individuals with dry mouth conditions, those with poor oral hygiene, and patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. It can also be used as a preventive measure for individuals with normal oral health.

Sports Mouthguard    

Fluoride Varnish  

Protective device worn over the teeth and gums to prevent injuries to the mouth, teeth, lips, and jaw during sports activities. It is typically made of a flexible material. The primary purpose of a sports mouthguard is to absorb and distribute the forces of impact that can occur during contact sports or activities with a high risk of dental injuries. It acts as a cushion to protect the teeth from direct blows, minimizing the risk of broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth.

Mouthguards are commonly used in sports such as football, rugby, hockey, boxing, martial arts, basketball, and lacrosse, where collisions and impacts are frequent.

Sports Mouthguard    

Refers to the process of examining the oral cavity and its surrounding tissues to detect signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions. The purpose of oral cancer screening is to identify potential abnormalities at an early stage when they are most treatable.                                                                                                      
While anyone can develop oral cancer, certain individuals have a higher risk, including tobacco users (cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco), heavy alcohol users, individuals with a family history of oral cancer, those with a history of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and people over the age of 40. However, it's important to note that oral cancer can occur in individuals without any known risk factors.

Oral cancer screening methods: During an oral cancer screening, a healthcare professional, will examine your oral cavity, including your lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, roof, and floor of the mouth, as well as the back of your throat. They will look for any abnormalities such as red or white patches, sores, lumps, or unusual changes in tissue texture.                                                                                                    
Remember, oral cancer screening is an important preventive measure, but it does not guarantee the early detection of all cases. It's crucial to maintain good oral hygiene, follow a healthy lifestyle, and promptly report any concerning symptoms to your healthcare provider.
