“I believe and know from my experience that if every single person would see a dental hygienist as regularly as they see their hairdresser, they can avoid most dental problems and will reduce the need to see their dentist to a minimum. I want dental hygiene visits to be as routine for people as exercise or eating healthy food. I think we must all change the way we see dentistry and focus on prevention, not simply treatment, to keep our mouth and body healthy.”
