Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping the mouth and teeth clean to prevent dental problems, most commonly, dental cavities, gingivitis, periodontal (gum) diseases and bad breath. There are also oral pathologic conditions in which good oral hygiene is required for healing and regeneration of the oral tissues.
In our office we have a full time certified Dental Hygienist and our Periodontal recall program gives our patients the ability to keep their oral health under control and free of any major problems.
