Why Do You Need to Visit the Dentist for Teeth Cleaning?
Even with regular brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can still build up on your teeth over time. These deposits can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and tartar that are difficult to reach with regular oral hygiene habits, helping to prevent dental issues before they become serious.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning
- Prevents Gum Disease: Regular cleanings help prevent gingivitis and periodontitis, the two stages of gum disease, by removing harmful plaque and tartar buildup.
- Freshens Breath: Routine cleanings can help eliminate bad breath caused by bacteria in the mouth, leaving your smile feeling fresh.
- Detects Issues Early: During your cleaning, our team checks for early signs of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues, and delivers prompt treatment.
- Keeps Your Smile Bright: Teeth cleaning helps remove surface stains, keeping your smile brighter and more radiant over time.
- Improves Overall Health: Good oral hygiene is linked to better overall health, including a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more.
The Teeth Cleaning Process
- Examination & Assessment: Your cleaning begins with a comprehensive examination to check for any underlying issues, such as cavities or gum disease.
- Removal of Plaque and Tartar: Our skilled team will use specialized tools to carefully remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and along the gumline.
- Polishing: After plaque and tartar are removed, your teeth will be polished with a special toothpaste to remove any remaining stains and leave your teeth feeling smooth and clean.
- Fluoride Treatment (Optional): In some cases, a fluoride treatment may be applied to help strengthen your teeth and protect them from future decay.
How Often Should You Get Teeth Cleaned?
For most people, professional teeth cleaning is recommended every six months. However, if you have specific oral health concerns or conditions like gum disease, you may need more frequent cleanings. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized cleaning schedule that meets your needs.
