The Importance of Routine Teeth Cleanings

  • Prevent Gum Disease: Routine teeth cleanings can prevent common oral issues such as gum disease because a dental health professional has examined your mouth. A dentist can tell whether your gums are in good health or not, or on the cusp of having gum disease.
  • Reduce Cavities: If a cavity is not bothering your gums or the tooth it has infected, you may not even realize you have a cavity. During a routine teeth cleaning, the plaque, tartar, and bad bacteria are removed. This minimizes the chances of cavities developing.
  • Early Oral Cancer Detection: When a dentist conducts a routine teeth cleaning, they are not only cleaning your teeth and gums, but they are inspecting the health and condition of your mouth overall. Early detection of oral cancer during a teeth cleaning appointment is the key to curing oral cancer, so keeping up with teeth cleanings can make all the difference.

Preventing Dental Disease 

Routine dental exams and cleanings are part of the treatments that will help prevent disease from infiltrating your mouth. We will target the bacteria that wreak havoc in your mouth and provide preventive treatments that stop signs of disease from growing. We will take dental X-rays to identify hidden issues with your teeth and help protect them with fluoride and sealant treatments.
