Helping you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile
Regular dental cleanings and polishing are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health, no matter your age or how diligent you are with brushing and flossing. At Deans Dental, we emphasize the value of these routine visits as part of a comprehensive oral care plan that keeps your smile looking great and your teeth and gums healthy. Even with the best at-home oral hygiene habits, there are areas in your mouth that are difficult to reach, where plaque and tartar can accumulate over time. Professional cleanings ensure that these hidden spots are thoroughly cleaned, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.
Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?
Dental cleanings go beyond what your toothbrush and floss can achieve. Here’s why they are an essential part of maintaining a healthy smile:
- Prevention of Plaque and Tartar Buildup:
Plaque is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria that forms on your teeth every day. If not properly removed, it hardens into tartar (calculus), which can only be removed by a dental professional. Tartar buildup can lead to gum inflammation and periodontal (gum) disease, which, if left untreated, can cause tooth loss. Regular cleanings prevent this buildup, keeping your teeth and gums in top condition. - Protecting Against Gum Disease:
Gum disease often begins with gingivitis, which is characterized by swollen, red, and bleeding gums. Without regular cleanings, plaque and tartar can irritate the gums and cause them to recede, creating pockets where bacteria can thrive. Regular dental cleanings help prevent gingivitis from progressing to more serious stages of gum disease, such as periodontitis, which can affect the bone that supports your teeth. - Reducing the Risk of Cavities:
Even with daily brushing and flossing, certain areas of your teeth, like the back molars, are more challenging to keep clean. Professional cleanings ensure that these hard-to-reach areas are properly cleaned, reducing the chances of cavities forming in places where plaque and tartar might accumulate. - Fresher Breath and a Brighter Smile:
Dental cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and looking brighter. This helps to improve the appearance of your smile while also eliminating the bacteria that can cause bad breath. Polishing your teeth gives them a smooth finish, making it more difficult for plaque to stick and leaving you with a fresh, clean mouth.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning at Deans Dental
At Deans Dental, we aim to make every dental cleaning experience thorough, comfortable, and personalized to your needs. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
Before the cleaning process begins, our dental professionals will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, checking for any signs of gum disease, cavities, or other oral health concerns. This allows us to identify any potential issues early on and provide personalized advice for maintaining your oral health.
Using specialized tools, our dental hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth, including those hard-to-reach areas. This process, known as scaling, is essential for preventing gum disease and maintaining the health of your teeth.
After scaling, we clean between your teeth and along the gumline to ensure that all remaining bacteria are removed. This helps to prevent gum irritation and maintain the health of your gums, reducing the risk of inflammation and infection.
Polishing your teeth involves using a special gritty paste and a polishing tool to smooth the surface of your teeth. This step helps remove surface stains, giving your teeth a brighter appearance and making it harder for plaque to adhere to the teeth in the future.
At the end of your cleaning, we provide tailored recommendations for maintaining your oral hygiene at home, such as the best brushing and flossing techniques, and advice on how often to visit for cleanings. We also answer any questions you may have about your oral health and offer tips for keeping your smile healthy between visits.
