Dental Hygiene Services in Martensville, SK
Regular visits with a dental hygienist are one of the most effective ways to protect your oral health. At Martensville Dental, our dental hygiene services follow the latest CDA care guidelines. We provide patients from Martensville, Langham, Warman, Dalmeny, Aberdeen, Radisson, and North Saskatoon with routine cleanings in a calm, comfort-first environment.
Why Dental Hygiene Is Essential for Oral Health
Some areas in the mouth are difficult to clean with just brushing and flossing. Over time, plaque can gather in these hidden areas, and if it’s not removed, it hardens into tartar, also known as dental calculus.
Tartar is linked to a range of oral health problems, including tooth decay, gingivitis, bad breath, and periodontitis. Routine hygiene checkups can:
- Remove plaque and tartar before they cause damage
- Lower your risk of gum disease and tooth decay
- Catch early signs of inflammation or enamel wear
- Reduce the need for more involved treatments like root canal therapy
Professional hygiene visits are safe, comfortable, and an important part of preventive dental care at every age. Our dental hygienists use evidence-based techniques to support your oral health long term.
Our Dental Hygiene Process at Martensville Dental Clinic
Our professional teeth cleaning in Martensville is thorough, calm, and patient-focused. We take the time to explain each step, so you know what to expect and feel at ease throughout your appointment.
Medical History Review
We start with reviewing your medical history and discussing any new symptoms or concerns. This step helps customise your dental cleaning process for the best possible care.
Oral Assessment
Next, we check your teeth, gums, and soft tissues for early signs of gum disease, decay, or enamel wear.
Scaling
Our hygienists use gentle, professional tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gumline.
Polishing
We polish the surfaces of your teeth to remove minor stains and smooth the enamel. This helps keep plaque from sticking as quickly in the future.
Fluoride Treatment (If Needed)
Depending on your circumstances, we may apply a fluoride gel or foam to help protect your teeth from future cavities.
Oral Cancer Screenings (If Needed)
We perform a quick but thorough check for any unusual changes in the mouth, including the tongue, cheeks, lips, and throat area.
Gum Disease Prevention & Early Detection
Your gum health is just as important as your teeth. While early-stage gingivitis can usually be managed with regular cleanings, more advanced cases like periodontitis may cause lasting damage to the bone and surrounding tissue.
Routine hygiene visits help:
- Detect early signs of inflammation, bleeding, or gum recession
- Remove plaque and tartar that contribute to gum disease
- Track changes in your gum health over time
- Reduce the need for more invasive dental treatments
Our dental hygienists check for subtle changes that may signal the start of a problem. With consistent care and timely advice, most gum issues can be treated early or avoided altogether.
Should gum disease lead to tooth loss, we also offer dental implants as a long-term replacement option.
Dental Hygiene Tips for At-Home Care
Great oral health is a team effort. What you do at home matters just as much as your visits with us. Here’s how to keep your teeth and gums in good shape between appointments:
- Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
- Floss daily to remove plaque between the teeth and along the gumline
- Limit sugary snacks and drinks, especially between meals
- Drink water throughout the day to rinse away food particles and support saliva flow
- Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months or sooner if the bristles are worn
If you’re unsure about technique or want help choosing the right products, our team is always happy to guide you.

Dental Hygiene FAQs
How often should I book a dental cleaning?
Most people benefit from a dental cleaning every six months. However, your needs may vary depending on your oral health, gum condition, or risk for decay. During your visit, we’ll recommend a cleaning schedule that makes sense for you and helps prevent future problems.
Do I need a professional cleaning if I brush and floss daily?
Yes. Even with good brushing and flossing habits, plaque can build up in areas your toothbrush can’t reach. Professional cleanings remove hardened tartar and give us a chance to check for issues like gum disease or decay before they become more serious.
What are the best at-home dental hygiene tips?
Brush with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day, floss once daily, limit sugary snacks, and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months. If you need help refining your oral care routine, our team is happy to guide you.
What should I expect during my dental hygiene appointment?
Your appointment will include a review of your health history, a thorough cleaning, and a check for signs of gum disease or tooth decay. Depending on your needs, you may also receive fluoride treatment, polishing, or an oral cancer screening during the visit.
Will insurance cover my dental hygiene appointment?
Most dental insurance plans cover hygiene appointments every six to nine months. Coverage may vary, so we’re happy to check your benefits and explain what’s included. Our team can also help you schedule based on your plan’s recommended frequency.
