What does a dental hygienist do?
As mentioned earlier, a dental hygienist is involved in specific tasks in a dental clinic. For instance, he/she can perform professional dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar. This is a special procedure that a patient must consider twice per year for a healthy denture. Here are other important tasks and procedures that enter the attention of a dental hygienist in Dubai:
- screening procedures for patients before specific treatments like: root canals, tooth extraction, surgical interventions, etc.;
- applying dental sealants and other materials necessary for specific treatments;
- verifying the medical history of a patient and preparing specific documentation;
- dental X-rays;
- offering specific oral hygiene recommendations and strategies.
These are a few of the tasks and procedures of a dental hygienist in Dubai. Our specialists have experience in a wide range of dental procedures and treatments and we invite you to our modern dental clinics in Dubai for extra details.
Removing the plaque and tartar
A dental hygienist can perform a complete professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. The bacteria deposited on the teeth can turn into serious damage to teeth, and in some cases, it’s too late to save them. Here is how a professional dental cleaning takes place:
- A physical examination followed by a dental x-ray will be made in the first place.
- The level of plaque and tartar will be determined before any dental operation.
- The dental hygienist will prepare the denture and perform a series of procedures to remove the plaque and tartar.
- Any left pieces are then removed with the help of an electric toothbrush and special toothpaste.
- A specific flossing session is then made, alongside a special mouth rinse.
This kind of professional dental cleaning is not painful and can be done in approximately 30-40 minutes. If you would like to know more about a professional dental cleaning performed by a dental hygienist in Dubai, feel free to get in touch with us.
Tooth scaling and root planning
Our Dubai dental hygienists perform tooth scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning. These are dental procedures designed to remove tartar from the teeth, usually required for patients with periodontitis.
Factors contributing to periodontitis include: diabetes, genetic predisposition, other health conditions, hormonal changes, poorly fitted dental work, poor oral hygiene, smoking, and stress.
Tooth scaling removes tartar from the visible surfaces of the teeth, while root planing targets the roots of the teeth below the gum line. The procedures are performed by our dental hygienists in Dubai, but our team of dentists and periodontists can also assist with the procedure. Scaling and root planning may require multiple appointments in some cases.
You can schedule a deep cleaning at our dental clinic in Dubai.
Dental sealants and fluoride treatments
Dental sealants and fluoride treatments are used to prevent tooth decay. Our dental hygienists in Dubai perform these procedures with care and precision.
Dental sealants are thin, liquid coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, such as premolars and molars. Once the sealant is applied, our Dubai dental hygienists harden it to create a protective barrier that guards the teeth against bacteria. Sealants are made from materials such as resins or glass ionomers. Dental sealants are generally recommended for children and teenagers. However, adults can still benefit from sealants. Our Dubai dentists will evaluate your specific case and determine if sealants are appropriate for you.
Fluoride treatments help to restore the tooth enamel. They enhance the enamel’s resistance to acid attacks and can even reverse the early stages of tooth decay. Our dental hygienists in Dubai apply fluoride in several forms, such as foam, varnish, or gel.

Other tasks of a dental hygienist in Dubai

He or she works closely with the dentist in Dubai and can prepare the anesthesia for patients, develop dental x-rays, remove sutures, polish dental restorations, and prepare patients for different surgical or non-surgical interventions. Temporary dental fillings can be applied by a dental hygienist because he/she has experience in this field.
