Did you know that over 80% of adults suffer from gum disease because they have plaque buildup? Teeth cleanings are an extensive dental cleaning of your teeth performed by a hygienist.
We know that having a quality smile is important to you. Our experts make sure that you are given the best pearly whites possible!
Teeth cleanings treat the leading cause of gum disease—plaque buildup. Plaque is a sticky substance that contains different species of bacteria. The bacteria come from acids after eating a meal or having sugary snacks.
Plus, untreated plaque on your gums can create tartar. Tartar is a substance that hardens and can become embedded on your teeth. When this tartar builds over the gum line, you can expect to see gum disease in its early stages.
While the frequency of dental cleanings you need will depend on your specific oral health situation, the American Dental Association recommends that everyone have a dental cleaning twice yearly. It’s important to note that the dental cleaning recommended by the ADA is more than just a teeth cleaning.
This comprehensive dental cleaning includes a complete oral exam and professional teeth cleaning. If you have braces, dental cleanings will likely be more frequent. You will also likely need frequent cleanings if you have particular dental health concerns like diabetes, kidney disease, or autoimmune disorders.
If you have a medical condition that impacts your oral health, you must work with your dentist to develop a customized dental hygiene plan for you.
Professional dental cleanings can remove significantly more plaque and tartar than you can do at home. This extra plaque and tartar buildup can lead to more serious dental problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss!
Professional teeth cleanings can also help you stay on track with your dental health goals if you’re trying to improve your oral health. Many people are motivated to improve their oral health after a thorough dental cleaning.
Dental cleanings are also the best way to determine if you need other dental services, such as fillings or crowns.
The best way to determine if you need a dental cleaning or other dental services is to see a dental professional for an exam and cleaning. If you are ever unsure about the health of your teeth or gums or if you need a dental cleaning, be sure to contact your dentist for advice.
A good teeth cleaning comes with great benefits for you! It includes the following:
At our office, we will analyze your mouth with a complete and thorough dental exam. Scaling instruments and mirrors are used to get to the root of plaque removal. The scaling instruments remove plaque in and around your gum line.
Then, your teeth will be cleaned with a special dental toothpaste. Your teeth will be brushed with a high-powered electronic brush to get efficient results.
