Dental Cleanings
A Fresh Smile Starts Here
Maintaining oral hygiene through regular brushing and flossing is essential, but some areas in our mouths are hard to clean thoroughly. That’s why professional dental cleanings every few months are crucial. At our dental practice, we help maintain your oral health with exams and comprehensive cleanings, including plaque removal, polishing, and personalized home-care guidance.
Dental cleanings target plaque buildup in difficult-to-reach areas. Plaque, an invisible, sticky bacterial film, forms on teeth after eating or drinking. Left untreated, the acids produced by plaque bacteria can erode enamel and lead to cavities. Professional cleanings effectively remove this buildup, preserving your teeth and promoting a healthier, brighter smile.
Why Dental Cleaning?
If left untreated, plaque turns to tartar, and tartar can form a shield overtop of our gums that can cause inflammation, which can cause bleeding and the gumline to be pushed down, which in turn causes tooth sensitivity and even tooth and bone loss.
We understand that there are patients who do not wish to come into the office, for one reason or another. Typically, patients tend to skip dental visits due to anxiety, dental pain, income, or the lack of dental insurance. These are all valid reasons that our dentist can address with you on your next visit as it is even more important to care for your health, which includes your oral health. Please call our office if you have certain care requirements.
