By Alanna McKeigue, DHP – Island Glow Mobile Dental Hygiene Inc.

If you live in the Comox Valley, you already know how lucky we are to call this beautiful corner of Vancouver Island home. But between work, family, and the everyday rush of life, finding time to book a dental hygiene appointment isn’t always easy. That’s where at-home teeth cleaning comes in! Bringing professional oral care right to your door.

As a Dental Hygiene Practitioner and founder of Island Glow Mobile Dental Hygiene Inc., I’ve seen firsthand how much my clients appreciate the convenience, comfort, and care that mobile hygiene provides. Here are the top five benefits of choosing at-home dental cleaning services in the Comox Valley:

1️⃣ Comfort and Convenience

No traffic, no parking, no waiting room! With at-home care, you can enjoy a full dental hygiene appointment without leaving your cozy living room. I bring all the professional equipment needed — including my portable chair, instruments, and sterilized tools, so you get a complete, thorough cleaning right where you’re most comfortable.

Whether you’re in Courtenay, Comox, or Cumberland, I come to you! Saving time and making your oral health routine effortless.

2️⃣ Personalized, One-on-One Care

In a mobile setting, it’s just you and your hygienist — no rush, no pressure, and plenty of time to ask questions. I take the time to understand your oral health goals, lifestyle, and concerns. Every appointment is focused on you, and together we create a plan that fits your needs — from gum health to stain removal to preventive care.

3️⃣ Perfect for Seniors or Limited Mobility

For many seniors or individuals with mobility challenges, getting to a dental office can be difficult. At-home dental hygiene eliminates that barrier completely. I work closely with families and caregivers to ensure clients receive gentle, thorough care with compassion and dignity, in a familiar, stress-free environment.

4️⃣ Safe and Professional

Mobile doesn’t mean “makeshift.” All the same professional standards apply! Each visit follows strict infection control protocols, just like in a traditional clinic. I use sterilized instruments and high-quality equipment, so you can feel confident you’re receiving safe, regulated dental hygiene care in your own space.

5️⃣ Supports Preventive Health

Consistent dental hygiene visits are about more than a bright smile…they’re part of your overall health. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease, cavities, and even systemic conditions linked to oral bacteria. When care is accessible and convenient, it’s easier to stay on top of your oral health routine year-round.

💛 A Healthier Smile, Wherever You Are

If you live in Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, or the surrounding Vancouver Island communities, mobile dental hygiene makes quality care simple, comfortable, and accessible.
