A routine visit with the hygienist lasts 45 to 60 minutes. They will review your medical history updates, take X-rays if due, and then clean your teeth using hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line. They will polish your teeth, apply fluoride if indicated, and measure gum pocket depths (typically once per year). The hygienist will point out areas where your home care could improve and recommend products or techniques. For patients with gum disease, a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) may be recommended, which involves numbing and cleaning below the gum line in sections over one to two visits.
You see a dental hygienist at every routine dental visit, typically twice a year. The hygienist performs your cleaning, takes X-rays, and screens for problems before the dentist examines you. If you have gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), you may need to see the hygienist three to four times per year for maintenance cleanings. Patients with a history of gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, or diabetes benefit from more frequent hygienist visits.
