Dental Hygiene, Checkup & Cleans

An oral health therapist is qualified as both a dental therapist and dental hygienist. Our oral health therapists can assess, diagnose, treat and manage dental treatments for children and adolescents. This includes dental exams, scale and cleaning, oral care advice, fillings and tooth removal for patients under 18 years of age. For adult patients they perform professional dental cleaning, oral health assessments, diagnosis and treatment for oral disease to promote healthy mouths. They really enjoy cleaning your teeth!

Our oral health therapists can do exams and fillings for patients under 18 years of age.

Our oral health therapists do a thorough assessment of your teeth during your clean appointment and highlight areas of concern to the dentist before they see you for your exam. They can also diagnose cavities for patients under 18 years of age without referring to the dentist.

Our oral health therapists are very gentle but for some patients having your teeth cleaned may be a little sensitive. If you are concerned, talk to our therapists about different options that may help reduce your sensitivity.

At Claremont Dental as long as you are under the care of one of our dentists and having had a thorough dental exam every 12 months you can see our oral health therapists for regular cleans in between.

Most health funds cover a portion of your clean and will do so at least twice a year. But to be sure, check directly with your fund or bring your healthcare card into us and we can do a quote. Why not make the most of your health fund!
