Why We Love Our Boise Dental Hygienists

Most people tend to think of a Boise teeth cleaning as a cosmetic service that provides them with a polished look and a squeaky clean feel. But have you ever thought about what your Boise dental hygienist is actually doing to keep your teeth healthy?

Boise dental hygienists are licensed oral health care professionals that specialize in prevention and treatment of oral diseases, as well as the protection of a patient’s dental health. Whether they are cleaning your teeth or taking X-rays, a Boise dental hygienist is often the first member of the Summit Dental team to treat you.
