introduction to cleanings
Routine dental cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. These cleanings involve the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, which cannot be effectively eliminated through regular brushing and flossing alone. Our skilled hygienists use advanced techniques and tools to ensure your teeth and gums are thoroughly cleaned and healthy.
importance of routine cleanings
Regular dental cleanings play a crucial role in preventing oral health issues and maintaining a bright, healthy smile.
Here’s why routine cleanings are so important:
Prevent Cavities: Plaque buildup can lead to tooth decay and cavities Routine cleanings remove this buildup, reducing your risk of developing cavities
Gum Health: Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease by removing plaque and tartar that can cause inflammation and infection
Fresher Breath: Dental cleanings help eliminate bad breath caused by plaque and tartar buildup
Early Detection: During your cleaning, our hygienists and dentists can identify early signs of oral health issues, allowing for prompt treatment and better outcomes
Overall Health: Good oral health is linked to overall health Regular cleanings help reduce the risk of conditions such as heart disease and diabetes
what to expect during your routine hygiene cleaning
At our dental clinic, we aim to provide a comprehensive and comfortable cleaning experience. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
X-Rays
New Patients: We typically take a complete set of X-rays for new patients to get a full view of your oral health and spot any underlying issues.
Existing Patients: Periodic X-rays help us monitor your dental health and catch any new problems early.
Duration
New Patients:Your first visit will take about 90 minutes This allows us to assess your oral health goals, perform a thorough examination, and create a personalized care plan
Regular Cleanings: For returning patients, a routine cleaning typically lasts about 50 minutes
Gum Health Check
We carefully check your gum health using periodontal probing, a precise method to measure the space between your gums and teeth. This vital check helps us detect early signs of gum disease, keeping your smile healthy and vibrant.
Plaque and Tartar Removal
A Polished Finish: After cleaning, we polish your teeth to remove surface stains and give them a smooth, shiny finish.
Flossing: We will floss between your teeth to ensure no debris is left behind and to promote healthy gums.
