Keep Your Smile Healthy with a Professional Dental Cleaning
Routine dental cleanings are the cornerstone of a healthy smile. Even with the most diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. That's why we recommend coming in for a professional cleaning twice a year.
During your visit, our hygienist will use specialized tools to remove any plaque, tartar, and food debris that has accumulated between your teeth and gums. This process is essential because plaque is a breeding ground for the bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease.
Benefits of Routine Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings do more than just make your smile feel fresh—they are vital for your overall oral and physical health:
- Prevent Cavities and Protect Gum Health: By removing plaque and tartar, we help you avoid decay and periodontal disease.
- Reverse Gingivitis: Routine cleanings can help reverse early-stage gum inflammation (gingivitis) and restore your gums to a healthy state.
- Support Overall Well-Being: A healthy mouth is linked to a healthy body. Maintaining good oral hygiene can have a positive impact on your overall health.
- A Polished, Fresh Feeling: After your teeth are thoroughly cleaned, they will be polished to remove any surface stains, leaving you with a bright, smooth, and fresh-feeling smile.
What to Expect During Your Cleaning
Our team is dedicated to making your dental cleaning as comfortable as possible. We use a combination of hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers to effectively remove deposits. An ultrasonic scaler uses a gentle stream of water and vibrations to clean your teeth, while hand instruments are used for a precise, thorough clean.
Most dental cleanings are a simple, pain-free procedure that focuses on the superficial areas of your teeth and gums. If you have sensitive teeth or other issues that might cause discomfort, we can use a topical numbing gel or local anesthesia to ensure you have a comfortable experience.
After your teeth are cleaned and polished, our hygienist will give you personalized tips on brushing, flossing, and diet to help you maintain a healthy smile long after you leave the office.
