Mobile dental hygiene services, I come to you! All ages and direct billing provided to all insurances

Someone asked me the other day:
"What exactly does a Dental Hygienist do?"
Another good question!

Let me illustrate...Think of a house and it's foundation. Both are equally important. What good would it be to live in a beautiful home, if the foundation was eaten away by termites and ready to collapse?

The same can be true for your teeth. People can have white, straight, cavity-free teeth, but if they are loose because the bone supporting them is almost entirely gone, there is a problem.

Unfortunately, the bone around your teeth doesn't grow back once it's lost 😔

So, in a nutshell, the biggest part of what I do is remove hard bacteria from below your gums to keep the anchors/foundation around your teeth intact for life!
Message me if you have any questions 🙂

So now that I have my own mobile dental equipment, I've been trying to maintain it myself...like repairing leaky air/water syringes and such.

This has given me confidence to figure out why my treadmill has been making clunky noises!
I took the lid off and lo and behold, I found a croc and a piece of paper towel stuck in the belt!

Now it's good as new! 😅

I absolutely love this picture! Both pictures are of the same tooth.

Except what you see in photo #1 is just the surface of the dental cavity. The second picture is the what the tooth looks like under the surface.

Kind of like looking at the tip of the iceberg vs. what things look like under the water!

Now that my kids are off for the summer, evenings and weekends are what's available for mobile dental!
Just shoot me a message 🙃

*Depending on how long it has been since your last dental hygiene appointment you may find
-that your teeth have more nooks and crannies! That's because all the hard bacteria covering them will have been removed!

-that your gums bleed less when you brush and floss (if they did bleed before)

-that you have fresher breath in the mornings

-that it's easier to floss. That's because the floss won't be snagging on the hardened bacteria!
-that they feel great overall!

Sometimes teeth are more cold-sensitive after the hard bacteria has been removed, but don't fear I have a desensitizer to help with that; it works instantly!* 😁

If you only have a few teeth in your mouth, getting them checked and scaled regularly is so important because

-the remaining teeth will be working harder than if you had all 30 teeth to share the chewing load

-if you lose another one, then the function of 2 teeth is lost! A tooth can't help you if it's biting into air!

-the remaining teeth may be anchors for a partial denture, so to wear your denture you need to keep those anchors in tip-top shape!
So if you only have a few teeth left, treat them like gold and have a dental professional assess them!

If your gums are lower than they should be, the root of your tooth may be exposed, and the root is more yellow than the top of your tooth called the "crown."

Receding gums can happen for various reasons like smoking, brushing too hard, and gum disease.

Unfortunately, gum tissue does not grow back! But you can get your teeth whitened professionally! I like Wicked White whitening products because they do not cause sensitivity.
Message me to book a tooth whitening session ☺️

My brother visited me from Mexico this week. It's the first time he has visited Portage and I've been living here for 12 years!

He found people super friendly and thought Portage was very walkable. Granted, he walks everywhere in Mexico (about 2 hours per day).

Also, he found the weather comparable to Mexico?!? because it has been bright and sunny nearly everyday for 10 days. Not like Ontario where we both grew up. A lot of rain and clouds there.
Anyways, I'll sure miss him 💕
Now back to work!

Just reminiscing about the time I had to wear all this gear to work!

Since the pandemic, the word "safe" now gives me PTSD. Such an annoying, overused word during those COVID years! 🤣

Why would you want an appointment with a MOBILE dental hygienist? The question is why not? 🙂

-I come right to you, set up within 20 min and you have your dental hygiene appointment (or teeth whitening appointment in the comfort of your own home)

-You don’t pay any extra for this service! We use the same fee guide as traditional dental offices, so the cost is the same (and in most cases less)!

-I direct bill to your insurance company

-Kids (and adults!) are much more comfortable getting their teeth cleaned in their own home

-Daytime, evening and weekends available

-Call to book an appointment or message on FB.

Message me if you have any questions!

Many people wonder what to expect before, during and after a mobile dental hygiene appointment!

Here is a link with all the details:

See, no suprises! 🙂

Many people ask me "how often should I get my teeth scaled?" The answer is as you'd expect, not clear cut for everyone.

Most people are fine on a 6-9 month recall. But if you have diabetes, have lost bone around your teeth, smoke, or have aggressive bacteria in your mouth then your dental professional may suggest scaling every 4 months!

Either way, I think dental hygiene therapy once every 5 years is better than none at all! So if it has been a long time since your last dental hygiene appointment, don't worry!
Just book one now :)
