Teeth Cleanings
A regular brushing and flossing routine is paramount to maintaining oral care and overall well-being. Brushing and flossing regularly, as well as avoiding certain foods and habits, go a long way to preventing tooth decay, gingivitis, and other issues that can arise with oral hygiene.
However, even the most disciplined routine requires a little professional help here and there. Tooth cleanings are essential every few months to reach the spots that even a toothbrush or floss can’t reach.
The qualified team at Moderna Dental Studio in Farmers Branch, TX, is proud to serve the local community with quality dental care services, including cosmetic dentistry, so that you can both look and feel comfortable with your new smile.
Why Are Cleanings So Important?
You may wonder why professional teeth cleanings are important, especially if you are extremely vigilant about your oral care routine.
Even the best toothbrush and floss cannot remove all bacteria, and they also are unable to tackle harder deposits.
Here is a summary of why cleanings are vital to your oral care
- Plaque and Tartar Removal: Even with the best brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth. Professional cleanings remove these harmful deposits, preventing cavities and gum disease.
- Gum Disease Prevention: Gum disease is a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss. Regular cleanings can help detect and prevent gum disease.
- Oral Cancer Screening: Our dentist will check for signs of oral cancer during your cleaning. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- Personalized Advice: Our dentist can offer tailored tips on brushing, flossing, and other oral care habits.
What to Expect During a Cleaning
A typical cleaning involves:
- Exam: We will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw for any signs of problems.
- Scaling: The dental hygienist will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line.
- Polishing: After scaling, your teeth will be polished to remove any surface stains and give them a smooth finish.
- Flossing: Your hygienist will floss your teeth to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth.
