Cleanings and Prevention

We care about the oral health of our patients and use our knowledge to help them as best we can – during appointments and between them.

During your cleaning, your hygienist will clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup that can cause gum disease and other conditions if left for long periods of time. Dental hygienists will also check if you have any symptoms of gum disease, gingivitis or any other irregularities. Routine X-rays may also be required to further examine the health of your teeth.

Since we only see our patients a few times in a year, it’s important to us that we encourage proper techniques in between cleanings so cavities and oral diseases such as periodontitis can be prevented.

The main goal in preventative dentistry is so you can keep all of your natural teeth! Preventative dentistry should start from when you are a child so that you can ensure you have the healthiest teeth possible as you age, but it’s never too late to start learning good habits. We want our patients to be proud of the beautiful smiles they wear.

Keeping your smile healthy includes a good oral hygiene routine. Home dental care should include:

  • Brushing your teeth for two full minutes, twice a day
  • Flossing at least once a day
  • Rinsing your mouth with antibacterial mouthwash
  • Eating a balanced diet
Many other things impact your oral health, such as sleep, stress, diet, and even other health issues. Regular visits to the dentist aid in early detection and prevention so you can avoid dental problems down the road. Your hygienist is a great resource if you have any questions or concerns about your oral health and can provide proper brushing and flossing techniques, and recommend dental hygiene products for you to use.
