Dental Cleaning For Healthy Teeth and Gums
It’s essential to take care of your teeth! Dental cleanings are an excellent way to do this and the key to a healthy smile! Not only can they help prevent cavities and gum problems, but they also remove plaque that can’t be removed by brushing and flossing.
At a dental cleaning, Dr. Desai and his team will check for cavities and buildup on your teeth. The cleaning we perform removes any built-up tartar and helps to reduce any oral bacteria which could cause bad breath in the future. Our team will also assess your gums’ health and clean plaque between your teeth. During the appointment, we may advise improving your brushing technique or making other lifestyle adjustments to practice good dental hygiene between checkups to keep your mouth healthy.
When it comes to your oral health, regular dental cleanings are essential. Scheduling regular dental cleanings every six months gives us a full assessment of your oral health, allowing us to identify potential issues as early as possible. For example, we’ll check for any early signs of decay or other conditions that could cause discomfort or further damage if left untreated. This exam allows us to fix them before they become more severe and expensive issues down the line. In short, regular dental cleanings provide you with healthy teeth and gums and a confident smile for years to come!
At Main Street Dental, we want to ensure that your visit is pleasant and productive. When you come in for a dental cleaning, a member of our staff will start by conducting an examination to evaluate the condition of your teeth and other oral structures. After this initial assessment, our hygienists will use special scalers and ultrasonic instruments to gently get rid of plaque, bacteria, tartar, and any other kind of buildup around your teeth. After this thorough professional cleaning service is complete, Dr. Desai will examine your teeth. You can be sure that we will do everything possible to give you the most beautiful smile!
Some Helpful At-Home Dental Hygiene Tips
Taking care of your teeth and gums at home is vital for your oral health! Brushing and flossing are two fundamental steps that you should never skip. For brushing, we recommend using toothpaste with fluoride and brushing for at least two minutes twice a day (with the help of a timer!) In addition to brushing, interdental cleaners can be highly beneficial since they get between teeth more effectively than simply brushing. Flossing once a day will help remove food particles and plaque from areas toothbrushes cannot reach. Lastly, make sure to replace your toothbrush every three months – this might sound like overkill, but your mouth will thank you for it! If consistently followed on a daily basis, these simple yet powerful tips can make a dent in protecting and maintaining your oral hygiene. So don’t forget to devote some time each day to these basics of dental hygiene – it’ll pay off in the long term!
