Brilliant Smiles Dental Hygiene

Brilliant Smiles dental hygiene is an independent dental hygiene practice located in Oxford, Maine, founded in 2010 by Tamsyn Frothingham, an Independent Practice Dental Hygienist (IPDH). It's an alternative to a traditional dental office, focusing on providing preventative health care in a low-stress, relaxed environment. A key feature of the clinic is that it offers services like teeth cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealant applications without mandatory X-rays or comprehensive exams. This approach makes it a convenient option for those who primarily need routine hygiene services. Tamsyn Frothingham has over 14 years of experience as a registered dental hygienist and earned her IPDH license in 2009. The clinic emphasizes the importance of oral health in relation to overall health, explaining that bacteria from the mouth can increase the risk of conditions like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. The practice aims to provide thorough, professional care and makes referrals to other dental professionals when necessary. They accept MaineCare and work with most insurance companies to help make visits more affordable for patients.
