Question: What is the difference between a dentist's office and a dental clinic in Riverview NB?
“What is the difference between a dentist's office and a dental clinic in Riverview NB? A dental office comprises a dentist and dental hygienists that all work together. There you go see the dentist and they are treaters. They treat your cavity, they treat your root canal, they extract your teeth. When you come to a dental hygiene clinic like me, we are all preventers. Dental hygienists have a different job than dentists and we help prevent cavities, prevent tooth loss, and prevent periodontal disease and all those things. We're your regular maintenance person and we check for cavities and things like that, and if we see anything then we would refer you to your dentist for that future work.”
