FREDERICKSBURG, VA—(Marketwired – May 26, 2015) – A Fredericksburg dental practice experienced in placing dental implants has hired a new dental hygienist at its growing dental office.
The new dental hygienist, Courtney, recently began working with Drs. Lloyd Moss Jr. and Lloyd Moss III. As a hygienist, Courtney is primarily focused on helping each patient maintain optimal oral health. In order to do so, she will not only clean teeth but also provide patients with excellent home care instructions and nutritional information to help prevent future tooth decay and gum disease.
“We receive nothing but great reviews from every patient that sees Courtney. They always comment on how much they enjoyed their visit and how gentle she is,†Dr. Moss Jr. said.
Dr. Moss Jr. said his dental hygiene staff serve as the first line of defense against dental issues like tooth decay and gum disease. By scaling the teeth to remove tartar and plaque and then polishing the teeth, hygienists help reduce the threat of cavities and even tooth loss, Dr. Moss Jr. said.
“Cleanings are some of the most important doctor’s visits you’ll make in your life, because missing teeth or serious oral health problems can cause a variety of overall health issues,†Dr. Moss Jr. said. “Having professionals like Courtney clean your teeth helps keep your teeth happy and healthy for the rest of your life.â€
