Bring along your toothbrush & Have a good time
At Total Care Dental Boutique, we encourage our patients to bring along their home oral hygiene kit to their exam and hygiene appointment. Be it your toothbrush, floss, piksters, toothpick or whatever you use to clean your teeth at home.
We all know our cleaning routines can influence the health of our teeth, so allow us help, we love it after all! Bringing your kit helps us to watch, review and demonstrate together practical ways of how you can improve your technique for better long term oral health.
With the aid of technology and high definition images, you can see for yourself those hard to reach places.
We value the importance of providing some tips and tricks, and aim to always do more for our patients so this extra service does not involve any additional fees on your exam and hygiene appointment.

The advantages of preventative dentistry
Most dental emergencies come from lack of regular professional care and long term improper self care. During your hygiene visit at Total Care Dental Boutique, we will review your lifestyle, your dietary habits and help to identify areas of potential concerns and at-risk areas so that we can work together to improve your home care techniques with practical & do-able solutions.The best way to deal with a problem is to prevent it from starting. When a problem is detected, it is easier and more cost effective to fix when it is small.
