Rather than “clean” the mouth and rid it from all bacteria, our dental hygienists seek to bring harmony to the oral microbiome and restore its innate abilities.
Our mouths are home to a diverse ecosystem containing over 800 different species of microorganisms…and counting! This ecosystem, otherwise known as the oral microbiome, functions symbiotically to support the health and immune response of the rest of the body.
Our hygienists use salivary testing and microscopic analysis to hone in on your needs to provide customized care.
This is not your typical dental cleaning. In alignment with the rest of our practice, your hygiene visit will be specifically tailored to you and your overall health.
