Dental hygienist (dental care professional)
- recall program

As is the case with all medical problems so it is with the dental problems: prevention and diagnosis in an early stage is highly important. With this approach much better clinical results may be reached and the expenses of treatments may be lowered as well.
In the more developed countries - such as the USA, Canada, Germany or the Scandinavian countries - regular check-ups are performed by dental hygienists.

Dental hygienist

After obtaining a dental assistant qualification one may pursue a one-year dental hygiene training. Dental hygienists perform among others the following tasks with the supervision of a dentist: scaling of the teeth, consultancy regarding oral hygiene, oral examination, dental bleaching and taking the impression.
With the help of dental hygienists it is possible to better implement the so-called ‘re-call’ program which would otherwise be hard to consummate. In the framework of this program in a previously set space of time (which is generally six months and three months in case of patients after a periodontal treatment) it is advisable to appear at a dental check-up at which the dental hygienist scales and examines the teeth. This examination - in the majority of cases usually, and in questionable cases always – is controlled by the dentist.
In the countries where this program was successfully implemented with the involvement of the wide population spectacular results were reached in the area of prevention and treatment of dental illnesses. Unfortunately this type of check-up program is not typical of the dental surgeries.
If you would like to participate in this program please inform us and you will be notified of your appointment in a text message as well.
