Routine Cleanings

Even with diligent oral hygiene habits at home, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Regular dental cleanings offer numerous benefits that contribute to your overall oral health:

• Preventing Tooth Decay: Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, can lead to tooth decay if not removed regularly. During your cleaning, our dental hygienists will remove the plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of cavities and preserving your natural teeth.

• Maintaining Healthy Gums: Plaque accumulation can irritate your gums, leading to gingivitis and, if left untreated, gum disease. Routine cleanings help prevent gum disease by removing plaque and tartar, reducing inflammation and maintaining healthy gum tissue.

• Freshening Your Breath: Persistent bad breath can be a sign of gum disease or other oral health issues. Professional cleanings remove bacteria and plaque that contribute to bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and revitalized.

• Early Detection of Dental Issues: During your cleaning appointment, our dental team will carefully examine your mouth, teeth, and gums. This allows us to identify any potential dental concerns early on, enabling prompt treatment and preventing more extensive problems in the future.

• Brightening Your Smile: Coffee, tea, tobacco, and certain foods can stain your teeth over time. Professional cleanings remove surface stains, revealing a brighter and more vibrant smile. You'll leave our office with cleaner, whiter teeth that enhance your overall appearance.
