When we think of home care, we think of calling on a nurse, a podiatrist (foot care), or a beneficiary attendant. We think of the services of a housekeeper or a hairdresser.
It is now possible to obtain the services of a dental hygienist at home. With her mobile equipment (portable chair, small compressor), she can offer the same quality of dental cleaning as at the dentist.
She will do a screening examination and an assessment of the health of your mouth, a scaling and a polishing of your teeth. She can also offer preventive follow-up, depending on your needs, every 4, 6 or 12 months.
If problems are detected, she will provide you with a detailed report of her observations and guide you so that you can obtain the appropriate care.
The dental hygienist, one more professional who is skilled in providing quality care at home or in residence.
