Every October 20th, National Dental Hygienist Day is celebrated, a date to recognise the essential work that these professionals perform in the prevention and care of oral health.

Dental hygienists are not only dedicated to performing deep cleanings, but they also play a crucial role in educating about good hygiene habits and in the early detection of dental problems.

In this article, we will explore the importance of dental hygienists, their role in the prevention of oral diseases and how YOTUEL products are designed to complement their work, providing solutions that take care of your oral microbiome and protect your smile.

The Key Role of Dental Hygienists

Dental hygienists are highly trained professionals who make a huge contribution to the prevention of diseases such as tooth decay, gingivitis and periodontitis.

During routine visits to the hygienist, not only are deep cleanings performed, but dental problems can also be identified in their earliest stages, allowing timely action to be taken and more serious complications to be avoided.

In addition to cleaning, dental hygienists play an important role in patient education. They teach you how to improve your daily hygiene routine, how to floss correctly and how to select products that really contribute to your oral health, such as those that take care of the oral microbiome.

YOTUEL: dental hygienists’ allies in oral care

At YOTUEL, we not only offer products designed for the end consumer, but we also provide dental hygienists with advanced solutions that they can recommend to their patients.

Our products are designed to complement the preventive work carried out by hygienists, helping to maintain a healthy oral microbiome and offering comprehensive protection for tooth enamel and gums.

Why should you visit your dental hygienist regularly?

Dental hygienists are not only responsible for cleaning your teeth, but also for preventing oral diseases. Visiting your hygienist regularly ensures that plaque and tartar, which daily brushing cannot completely remove, are effectively removed, preventing the development of problems such as tooth decay and periodontal disease.

In addition, hygienists can identify early signs of oral problems and recommend suitable products for your daily routine, such as those in the YOTUEL range, which help keep your oral microbiome balanced, which is essential for preventing diseases and ensuring a healthy mouth.

Tips to improve your oral hygiene

Taking advantage of the celebration of National Dental Hygienist Day, here are some tips that dental hygienists often recommend to maintain good oral health:

• Brush at least twice a day: Use products that take care of your oral microbiome, such as YOTUEL toothpastes, which clean effectively without altering the bacterial balance.
• Floss daily: Flossing helps remove plaque and food debris between teeth and in places where the brush cannot reach.
• Opt for non-abrasive products: Dental hygienists often recommend products that do not damage enamel. YOTUEL Microbiome toothpastes are an excellent option, as they are formulated to protect both enamel and gums.
• Visit the dental hygienist at least twice a year: These visits are key to detecting oral health problems early and keeping your mouth in optimal condition.

As you can see, National Dental Hygienist Day is an excellent occasion to remember the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene and the valuable work that dental hygienists do in preventing diseases.

At YOTUEL, we want to thank them for their work and highlight how our products can help both patients and professionals to take care of their oral health effectively.
