Oral Health Month continues across the country. It includes National Dental Hygienists Week from April 4-10, highlighting the commitment of our dental hygienists to their clients’ health.
Courtney Tedford, a Dental Hygienist with Dr. Vijay Bhatt Dentistry in Perth tell our Lynda D’Aoust that their main role is to educate their patients.
Tedford also dispelled a myth about people in her line of work telling people what to eat. She has a more diplomatic approach.
Tedford also realizes making a dentist appointment, and even more, attending one, isn’t an easy thing to do for everyone.
She reminds people to brush three times a day, and to floss as well.
You can listen to the complete interview with Lynda below.
