What an OHT Does at Your Clean Appointment
An Oral Health Therapist is a qualified clinician with a specific focus on preventive dental care and gum health. At Melton Dental House, OHT Jaclyn carries out routine check-up and clean appointments, assessing the health of your teeth and gums and removing plaque and tartar buildup using professional equipment.
Removing What Brushing Misses
Some areas of the mouth are consistently harder to clean at home, including the back surfaces of molars, along the gum line, and between teeth. During a professional clean, Jaclyn works through each of these areas methodically to remove any accumulated plaque or hardened tartar before it has a chance to contribute to decay or gum disease.
Reviewing Your Home Care Routine
Part of every appointment with Jaclyn includes a review of your current brushing and flossing routine. Where there are areas for improvement, she will offer straightforward, practical tips tailored to your mouth — not generic advice. Small adjustments to technique or product choice can make a meaningful difference between visits.
How Often Should You Come In for a Professional Clean?
For most patients, a routine check-up and clean every six months is the standard recommendation. Patients with a history of gum disease or more complex oral health needs may benefit from coming in more frequently. Jaclyn will advise the right interval for your situation at your appointment.
