Welcome to Valley East Dental Hygiene Clinic
CLIENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THEIR DENTAL CARE PROVIDERS
What is a Dental Hygienist?
A dental hygienist is a registered oral health professional who performs a variety of roles including clinical active therapy, health promotion, education, administration and research in a variety of practice environments.
In all roles and practice environments, the dental hygienist works with the client/patient and other health professionals and using a problem-solving framework, bases all decisions, judgments, and interventions on current dental hygiene research and theory.
As a registrant of a self-regulating profession, a dental hygienist must practice safely, ethically and effectively for the promotion of the oral health and well-being of the public of Ontario.
​
RDH stands for Registered Dental Hygienist, a licensed preventive oral health professional.

Did you know
​
Dental Hygienists in Ontario can now work independently. You don't need to see a Dentist every time you have your teeth cleaned! The Hygienist provides an oral assessment and will refer you to your Dentist if any oral concerns detected.
Dentists and Hygienists provide different services. You see a Dentist for dental work and you see a Dental Hygienist for hygiene services. ANALOGY: You see a hairdresser to have you hair done and you see an esthetician to have your nails done....and they don't need to be under the same roof!
Although dental x-rays may be necessary, there is no such thing as a ROUTINE x-ray. Dental x-rays should be prescribed by a dentist who should legally assess your mouth prior to ordering an x-ray!
You are still loyal to your Dentist when supporting an Independent Dental Hygienist! It is unethical for a Dentist to treat you differently if you choose to see an Independent Dental Hygienist.
BENEFITS OF CHOOSING AN INDEPENDENT DENTAL HYGIENIST:
lower fee guide (great for employers and people with no insurance benefits)
flexible and evening hours
no wait time...You will be seen at your appointment time and you will not have to wait when your hygiene service is done.
insurances accepted as well as ODSP and Healthy Smiles Program
One hour appointment time for adult hygiene visits which gives the dental hygienist enough time to perform a thorough service for her clients.
