Experience Personalised Oral Hygiene Care

A Dental or Oral Hygienist is a licensed dental professional that focus on the prevention of oral disease and the maintenance of good oral hygiene. Oral hygienists are primary healthcare professionals who often work alongside dentists and other dental professionals to provide full oral health care, but the Oral Hygienists at the Durban North Smile Center have completed an advanced course accredited with OHASA (Oral Hygiene Association of South Africa) that qualifies them to practice independently.

The Oral Hygienists at the Durban North Smile Center work with the contribution of an interdisciplinary approach, pooling resources from the allied services at the Center, aiming to provide optimum oral health care to their patients.
