Hygiene
Hygiene
The hygiene department is often at the center of a general dentistry practice. The hygienist is the clinician who provides most of the care to a patient during a routine prophy appointment, and these appointments are a mix of diagnostics, oral health maintenance and patient education. Accomplishing all of these tasks requires a range of hygiene products.
What hygiene products should my practice use?
Every dental practice’s hygiene department is different. Some hygienists only provide the prophy and take x-rays, while others provide more advanced periodontal services, laser treatments, or other specialized services. Whatever the level of care provided by your hygienists, it is likely they will perform basic diagnostics and cleanings, while being an educational resource providing patients with advice on proper home care.
Some hygiene instruments you will want on hand include:
Hygiene handpieces
and
prophy angles
Dental Ultrasonic Scalers
Fluoride Varnish
Periodontal Probes
