Dental Hygienists in Blackwood Adelaide

Experts in preventive dental care for all ages

As well as giving your teeth a dental scale and clean our dental hygienists work with our dentists to identify any problems and discuss with you your options for treatment.

For patients of all ages our hygienists also play an important role as ‘dental teachers’. Not only do they give their knowledge about how to clean and care for your smile, they aim to ensure that their patients leave with the techniques needed to keep their teeth and gums healthier for longer.

Armed with this knowledge, good dental habits can be built and patients can avoid decay, painful toothaches and costly fillings.
