It is now possible to see a dental hygienist, without first seeing a dentist for an oral examination. However, the hygienist will not carry out a complete examination and it is still necessary for you to have regular check-ups according to your individual needs; this is usually from every 6 months to every two years. Only a dentist will be able to fully diagnose any oral conditions and provide a treatment plan.<\/p>\n

Please be aware that on your first visit dependent on the health of your gums the hygienist may require further appointments. If this is the case a treatment plan will be given to you with all the recommended appointments and associated costs. A \u2018simple clean & polish\u2019 may be all you require; however, the hygienist has a duty of care and candor to inform you if you require further periodontal therapy or to see your dentist. The hygienist can use her discretion and refuse to see a patient if they haven\u2019t seen a dentist within the last 2 years.<\/p>\n
