Take Care Of Your Teeth And Gums
Ensuring regular teeth cleaning and checkups stands as one of the most vital steps to safeguard your oral health comprehensively, encompassing not only your teeth but also your gums and the entirety of your mouth – both inside and out. Through cleaning, plaque, tartar, and bacteria, which contribute to decay, gum disease, and persistent bad breath, are effectively removed. A skilled hygienist can access hard-to-reach areas that routine brushing and flossing at home may miss. With a thorough cleaning and examination, the hygienist and dentist have an excellent opportunity to monitor your oral health closely and identify issues that can be addressed or prevented before they lead to discomfort and significant expenses.
Moreover, regular teeth cleaning can naturally enhance the whiteness and brightness of your teeth, removing the need for bleaching treatments.
Getting regular teeth cleanings:
- Eliminates plaque, a sticky substance containing bacteria that erodes your enamel.
- Removes tartar build-up, hardened plaque that may lead to gum disease.
- Erases coffee, tea, or other teeth stains, restoring their natural shine.
- Checks for signs of receding gums, chipped or broken teeth, and indications of disease or infection.
What Happens During A Teeth Cleaning?
Gum Health
Gum health, a crucial yet sometimes overlooked aspect, plays a vital role in supporting your teeth and framing your smile. During our examination, we’ll thoroughly assess your tongue, gums, teeth, and all oral areas, with special attention to the gum line. Our goal is to ensure optimal overall mouth health, free from inflammation or potential gum disease. Rest assured, we’ll approach the topic of flossing habits with understanding and gentle guidance.
Plaque & Tartar Removal
Plaque, a soft and sticky film, tends to accumulate on your teeth over time. Without regular and thorough cleaning through brushing, flossing, and professional care, it can solidify into tartar deposits. Tartar often appears darker in colour and tends to form in hard-to-reach spots like the gumline. Fortunately, a skilled hygienist possesses the necessary tools and expertise to delicately remove stubborn plaque and tartar from these challenging areas. Once this process is complete, we can proceed to polish your teeth, effectively eliminating stains and leaving your smile gleaming bright.
Dentist Exam
Following your teeth cleaning, it is an opportune moment to undergo a comprehensive examination by your dentist. By reviewing your dental chart and x-rays, your dentist can focus on identifying any problematic areas or concerning patterns. Depending on the findings, your dentist may suggest additional treatments or provide you with valuable tips and advice to address issues such as tooth decay, inflammation, or gum disease effectively. We are always here to address any questions you may have and to listen to any experiences of discomfort, sensitivity, or dental pain you might have encountered. Your dental well-being is our priority.
