Importance of Dental Cleanings

Importance of Dental Cleanings

Did you know?

Keeping up with your twice yearly dental cleaning is critical for maintaining proper oral hygiene.  The tartar that builds up on your teeth cannot be removed by brushing (even with an electric toothbrush) and flossing alone.  You need a professional cleaning by one of our wonderful hygienists, Ashley and Deissy, to remove tartar and prevent tooth decay and gum disease.  Ashley and Deissy can give you other helpful self-care tips during your cleaning appointment to keep your teeth and gums in tip top shape.  Marie Kondo would get along well with Ashley and Deissy… their dental cleanings spark joy with patients all day long!

Did you know?

According to the CDC, nearly 50% of all adults aged 30 or older – about 65 million people – have signs of gum disease.  Gum disease is an infection caused by bacteria that get under the gum tissue.  Toxins from bacteria and the body’s response to infection can begin to destroy the gums and bone that support the teeth.  Teeth become loose, chewing becomes difficult, and teeth may have to be removed.  We care about maintaining your healthy, beautiful smile for a lifetime.  The important take-away here:  Don’t skip your dental cleanings!

Did you know?

It’s best to get your teeth whitened immediately following a dental cleaning, so that any tartar build up is removed.  This keeps your teeth at their whitest and brightest.  Let us know and we will schedule your whitening following your next hygiene appointment!  Care to indulge in the paraffin wax?  This is a complimentary treat we offer with every cleaning and treatment experience at our office.  Enjoy!
