The Foundation of Oral Health: Professional Dental Hygiene at 16 Mile Dental
At 16 Mile Dental Clinic in Oakville, we believe that exceptional oral health begins with one fundamental practice: professional dental hygiene. While brushing and flossing at home are essential, nothing replaces the thorough, expert care provided by our skilled dental hygienists.
Under the expert guidance of Dr. Sama Salim, our team is dedicated to helping patients in Oakville and surrounding areas achieve and maintain optimal oral health through comprehensive dental hygiene services.
Why Professional Dental Hygiene Matters
Did you know that 73% of Canadians will experience gum disease at some point in their lives? Regular professional dental cleanings are your first line of defense against cavities, gum disease, and other oral health complications that can impact your overall well-being.
Professional dental hygiene goes far beyond what you can achieve at home. Our experienced hygienists use specialized tools and techniques to:
- Remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can't eliminate
- Detect early signs of dental problems before they become serious and costly
- Provide personalized oral health education tailored to your specific needs
- Polish your teeth for a brighter, healthier-looking smile

Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Services
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Our thorough cleaning process removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and looking their best. We use gentle yet effective techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Gum Health Assessment
Early detection of gum disease is crucial for maintaining long-term oral health. Our hygienists carefully examine your gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding, or other indicators of periodontal issues.
Oral Health Education
Knowledge is power when it comes to oral health. Our team provides personalized guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle factors that impact your dental health.
Fluoride Treatment
Professional fluoride applications help strengthen tooth enamel and provide additional protection against cavities, especially beneficial for patients at higher risk of decay.
The Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Wellness
Research continues to reveal the strong connection between oral health and overall health. Poor oral hygiene has been linked to:
- Heart disease and stroke
- Diabetes complications
- Respiratory infections
- Pregnancy complications
By investing in professional dental hygiene, you're not just protecting your smile—you're investing in your overall health and well-being.

- Smoking or tobacco use
- Genetic predisposition to dental problems
During your consultation, our team will recommend the optimal cleaning schedule for your specific needs.
