Teeth Cleaning
Why Are Teeth Cleanings Important?
Teeth cleanings are an important part of your regular dental checkups, for good reason. They are necessary to prevent the development of tartar, plaque, cavities, and gum disease. Professional teeth cleanings are much more involved than a typical at-home brush and floss routine.
Benefits of Teeth Cleaning
Some of the many benefits of a teeth cleaning session include:
- Examination: Before any actual cleaning, we examine your mouth for signs of any potential concerns. This allows us to pinpoint the areas that need the most attention.
- Tartar removal: Plaque eventually hardens into tartar, which is very bad for oral health. Tartar buildup can cause you to develop cavities and even gum disease. Tartar can only be removed at the dentist’s office by a professional.
Deep Teeth Cleaning
You’ll notice the difference between our professional cleaning and your regular routine as soon as it’s done. Not only are your teeth brighter and whiter, your mouth is significantly cleaner, fresher, and more resistant to oral health problems.
We also offer deep cleanings, which are more involved sessions that take one to two hours. The purpose of a deep cleaning is to remove excess plaque and tartar from below the gumline, which is not done during a regular cleaning. Deep cleaning can be an effective and necessary treatment for people with gum disease to slow it down and prevent further health complications.
