How should I prepare for a dental hygiene visit?

No special preparation is necessary. It may be useful to bring the tools you normally use for dental care so that the hygienist can advise you on how to use them properly. If you have any problems, it is advisable to inform the hygienist in advance.

Is the treatment painful?

Usually not, but more sensitive patients may experience mild discomfort. If necessary, a numbing gel can be used.

How often should I go for dental hygiene?

It is recommended at least twice a year, in case of gum problems even more often.
