It is recommended that most patients schedule regular appointments for dental hygiene cleanings every six months. However, the frequency of your visits may be adjusted based on your individual oral health needs and the recommendations of your dentist or hygienist. Some patients with specific conditions or higher risk of dental issues may require more frequent cleanings, while others with excellent oral health may only need to visit once a year. Halo Dental Hygiene will work with you to create a personalized dental hygiene plan that ensures your teeth and gums remain healthy and clean. Regular appointments with a dental hygienist not only help to prevent cavities and gum disease but also provide an opportunity to detect and address any potential oral health issues early on. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns about the recommended frequency of your dental hygiene appointments.

It is recommended, for healthy oral hygiene to brush your teeth at least twice a day, preferably in the morning and before bed. It's important to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to effectively remove plaque and prevent cavities. Flossing should be done at least once a day to clean between the teeth and along the gumline, where a toothbrush can't reach. This helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Additionally, incorporating a mouthwash into your oral hygiene routine can provide added protection against plaque and bacteria. Remember to schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings with your oral health practitioner to ensure optimal oral health.

At Halo Dental Hygiene, we recommend that children see an oral health professional for the first time by their first birthday or within six months of the eruption of their first tooth. Early dental visits for children are crucial to monitor the development of their oral health, identify any potential issues that may require intervention, and provide education for parents on how to properly care for their child's teeth and gums. These early visits also help children become familiar and comfortable with the dental setting, setting the foundation for a lifetime of positive oral health habits. We are dedicated to providing a supportive and friendly environment for children to receive the best possible oral health care.
