Do I Need Dental Cleanings?
Dental cleanings are vital at every age and stage of life because your oral health directly impacts your overall health. Even the most robust daily oral hygiene routine can't eliminate stubborn tartar. Our friendly team is committed to providing gentle, thorough teeth cleanings to remove plaque and tartar for you and your loved ones. We clear away accumulated plaque, gently clean, and then polish your teeth for a beautiful smile. We provide your biannual dental cleanings in a welcoming and peaceful environment to promote your peace of mind and alleviate anxiety.
Our team understands that when you are equipped with knowledge, you can make better choices. That is why we provide tips and instructions to boost your oral health. We use kid-friendly language to teach children proper brushing and flossing techniques. Our team also provides teens and adults with the information needed to boost your dental homecare and the beauty of your smile.
Preventive Oral Health Services
Protecting your health requires treating current oral health issues, monitoring potential problems, and addressing them early. By catching oral health problems in the earliest stages, it makes them easier to treat and eradicate. We perform gentle exams to detect any signs of oral cancer to treat the disease as soon as possible. Our team takes dental x-rays to verify the health of your dental structures and checks for signs of infection to protect your teeth and gums. If we discover an infection, we perform root canal therapy to save your natural tooth structure and prevent the infection from spreading.
We monitor the development of your child's bite pattern to determine if they need orthodontic treatment to straighten their teeth. A straight smile protects kids' teeth from uneven wear, boosts their confidence, and makes it easier for them to brush and floss their teeth, which prevents cavities and gum disease.
Deep Teeth Cleaning to Prevent Gum Disease
Gum disease affects people all over the world, regardless of their age. Our team offers gum disease treatments, including teeth scaling, to encourage healthy attachment of your gums to your teeth. Periodontal disease has multiple phases, but when you consistently attend your biannual dental appointments, you have the opportunity to catch gum disease sooner rather than later. By diagnosing gum disease in its earliest stage, our compassionate team can halt and minimize its effects.
Dental Cleaning FAQs
Our team values open and honest communication because it builds trust. That is why we welcome your questions and concerns. We are happy to provide the answers and information you need to feel confident in the custom treatments we recommend to protect your smile. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about dental cleanings and prevention.
No. We perform gentle oral cancer screenings and administer a local anesthetic when necessary to maximize your comfort.
Your oral health is important, and we recommend visiting the dentist twice a year so we can efficiently monitor any changes in your teeth, jaws, or gums and address them proactively. If your oral health is compromised or you require more advanced services, we may suggest additional visits to complete the necessary treatments.
Many children feel dental anxiety or fear because the dentist's office is an unfamiliar environment. That is why we encourage you to bring your child in at an early age so they can become accustomed to our office. Our friendly dentist knows that each child is unique, and you can call us to determine how soon to bring your little one in for their first visit.
