Dental hygienist

If you want to keep your teeth for life,  our dental hygienists are simply the most cost effective dental treatment you can get.

They can help you stop dental decay and prevent gum disease before it takes an irreversible hold.

We’re very proud of our preventive program. It’s been developed to be the most thorough of its kind because we think prevention is better than cure. Every time. Less expense, less trauma – if only Australian medicine could be practiced this way!

Comfort is important for us. We can’t imagine you are going to come back regularly if it hurts. As everyone knows, you should visit the dentist twice a year. So our hygienists are guaranteed to give you the most comfortable and thorough tooth cleaning experience you have ever had. We even have a comfort guarantee for these appointments!

Know anyone who says “it’s only the kids, I just take them to the health fund dentist”? Our hygienists are great with kids, and the regular, positive reinforcement they receive at Smile Doctor will change their life outcome completely. Poor advice and habits early lead to a very expensive, traumatic dental lifetime.

Our dental hygienists have 3 years formal training, are trained in all forms of conservative gum therapy, tooth cleaning, taking radiographs and impressions.  They have been lucky enough to have a great mentor , Ms Lynn Hiscocks, a hygienist with the practice for 10 years, to continue their professional development and bring their formal training up to the standard we demand in our preventive program.
