March 22, 2017 - admin

Comments are off for this post.

At Woodgrove Dental, we’re proud to have Jamilla on board as our Oral Health Therapist meaning she is dually qualified in Dental Therapy and Dental Hygiene.

As an Oral Health Therapist, Jamilla aims to educate our patients on how to best take care of their teeth and gums to prevent oral health issues. Jamilla may undertake dental hygiene planning, dietary counselling and smoking cessation and advise the application of fluoride and fissure sealants as preventative measures.

Jamilla is able to provide Dental Therapy to children and young adults (patients under 25). She is able to conduct examinations and determine diagnosis, take dental x-rays, prepare cavities and tooth fillings and extract baby teeth.

As an Oral Health Therapist, Jamilla can also perform Dental Hygiene services for patients of all ages. This includes conducting dental examinations, root planning, scale and clean of the teeth, x-rays of the teeth and jaws, diagnosing gum disease and developing dental care plans for patients.
