Good dental hygiene comes from both a bi-annual or yearly check ups at the clinic as well as good care at home.

What services does the Oral Hygienist provide?
A visit to the Hygienist at Dr. Alter Dental Clinic is typically a worry free and painless experience. We will examine the overall health of your mouth, teeth and gums and check for any visible sign of oral diseases or tooth decay and perform some general oral care.
The Hygienist that you visit will perform a professional clean and polish using a combination of modern techniques. The aim of this process is to remove any stubborn bacterial deposits and plaque build up from above and below the gum line that conventional brushing at home can’t reach. Targeting these often neglected areas of the mouth helps to maintain overall good oral hygiene and prevents bacteria building up and causing bad breath.
Once the plaque has been removed, we perform professional teeth cleaning Johannesburg and finally tooth polishing to leave your mouth feeling smooth and fresh.
Your teeth Hygiene specialist will be happy to make recommendations about the correct products you can use at home to care for your teeth and keep healthy gums to prevent disease and other oral conditions. Feel free to ask for advice or discuss any concerns you may have. We’re here to help in any way we can.
