Dental Hygienist Clinic

At the dental hygienist clinic our students check for cavities, gum disease, loose teeth, or other signs of oral problems. X-ray images are taken as needed. Advice and directions are given regarding oral hygiene. Treatment may involve calculus removal, cleaning of gum pockets, fluoride treatment and tooth polishing.

The students are supervised by certified dental hygienists. Dentists are consulted as needed.

Cost

We offer check-ups and treatment by our dental hygienist students at a reduced price. If you are a student at Kristianstad University, you will receive an extra discount in addition to the already reduced price. Payment is made by card or invoice.
