Preventative Dentistry
in Lakeland, Florida
A hygiene appointment is not just a cleaning. Just as an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, the best oral health investment you can make is a regular appointment with one of our highly skilled, knowledgeable and dedicated dental hygienists.
These Florida State-licensed dental professionals are specially trained in preventive dental care. They are here to help you achieve and maintain good oral health. Once you have completed any dental care, from simple fillings or crowns, to implants and cosmetic dentistry, your hygienist will help you maintain the new restorations for years and years to come.
We are proud to say that each of our dental hygienists, like everyone in our practice, are dedicated to continuing education at the highest level. Agnini Family Dental encourages each hygienist to attend multiple continuing education courses every year (beyond the minimum required by law) in order to ensure that our patients continue to receive the very best care.
As an Agnini Family Dental patient, you will see the same dental hygienist at each visit. A relationship and rapport develops, and your hygienist becomes familiar with your dental history and your individual needs.
Our hygienists spend up to a full hour with each patient ensuring the most comprehensive and thorough cleaning and examination possible.
