dental cleaningOne of the most important visits that you can make to our office is for a professional cleaning. The dental checkup that is part of a professional cleaning in our office can ensure that your at-home oral hygiene routine is helping you to keep your teeth and gums healthy. All our dental hygienists instruct you in the best methods for brushing and flossing your teeth. Certain stains can not be removed by a conventional toothbrush and toothpaste. The longer stains remain on teeth the darker teeth will become. Depending on your overall oral health, we may recommend a dental cleaning appointment every two to twelve months. For people who have a tendency to buildup tartar, more frequent cleanings may be recommended because they are important for keeping the tartar buildup to a minimum and control the possibility of gum disease. Ongoing dental cleanings and checkups are imperative for the foundation of a lifetime of good dental health. |
