We at Goodwin Family Dentistry, dedicate a large amount of our resources to hygiene. Making sure we’re accessible to patients and efficient with our care. We have 4 Hygienists and a dedicated staff to support these providers. Hygiene is where the majority of our patient’s time is spent.

Like the bumper sticker says, “It takes a village…” so does preventive care dentistry takes a TEAM. It is crucial to have the patient, Hygienist and Dentist working together to keep patient’s teeth healthy. This team dynamic is obvious during a hygiene recall appointment. After the patient’s time with the Hygienist, a Dentist will come in for an evaluation. At that time all three people will discuss what they see, talk about any potential problems and come up with a plan to keep the patients oral health optimal.

Because maintenance is so important, each hygiene room has it’s own computer workstation. At the end of the appointment the Hygienist will schedule the patients next visit. That way, when the patient leaves the treatment room they already know when their next appointment will be.
