Frequently asked questions about oral care – Skydent Leiden
You may well have questions about your oral health or about a visit to our hygienist in Leiden. Below you will find straightforward answers to the ones we hear most often.
1. How often do I need to see the dental hygienist?
That depends on the person. For most people we suggest an appointment every six months. If you tend to develop tartar quickly, struggle with inflamed gums or have other risk factors, you may need to come more often. Our hygienist in Leiden is happy to draw up advice tailored to you.
2. What happens at the first appointment?
At your first visit, our hygienist takes stock of how your teeth and gums are doing. We examine the gums, check for plaque and tartar, and talk through your oral care habits. If needed, we carry out a professional cleaning right away.
3. What is the difference between the dentist and the dental hygienist?
There is a clear one. The hygienist focuses on preventing problems such as gum inflammation and tooth decay through cleaning and advice. The dentist also carries out treatments such as fillings or root canal work. At Skydent in Leiden, the hygienist and dentist work closely together.
4. What does an oral hygiene treatment cost?
The rates for oral care are set by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa). We always give you a clear price estimate in advance, so there are no surprises along the way.
5. Will my insurance cover the treatment?
For adults, dental hygienist treatments are usually only covered through supplementary insurance. Children up to the age of 18 are often covered under the basic policy. Get in touch and we will look at your options together.
6. Can I also come to Skydent for dental treatments?
Yes. We provide both dental and oral care here in Leiden, so there is no need to find a separate dentist. Everything is under one roof.
