At Everest Dental, we understand the importance of regular dental cleanings in achieving and maintaining a healthy smile. Our skilled dental hygienists are committed to providing thorough cleanings that remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your teeth and gums, helping to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?
Plaque and Tartar Removal: Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque can build up on the surfaces of your teeth, leading to tartar formation if not removed promptly. Dental cleanings effectively remove plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Gum Disease Prevention: Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the gums and surrounding tissues. Regular dental cleanings help to remove bacteria and debris from below the gumline, reducing the risk of gum disease and preserving the health of your gums. Early Detection of Dental Issues: During your cleaning appointment, our dental team will also perform a comprehensive examination of your oral health. This allows us to detect any signs of dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, or other abnormalities early on when they are easier to treat. Fresh Breath: Dental cleanings not only remove plaque and tartar but also help to eliminate bacteria that can cause bad breath. After your cleaning, you'll enjoy a fresh, clean feeling that boosts your confidence and leaves your mouth feeling rejuvenated.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Plaque and Tartar Removal: Our hygienist will use specialized tools to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth, including hard-to-reach areas that may be missed by regular brushing and flossing. Teeth Polishing: After plaque and tartar removal, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and create a smooth, shiny finish. This not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also makes it more difficult for plaque to adhere to your teeth in the future. Gum Evaluation: Our dental team will carefully examine your gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding, or recession, which could indicate gum disease or other oral health issues. We'll also measure the depth of the pockets between your teeth and gums to assess the health of your gum tissue. Oral Examination: In addition to your cleaning, our dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and other oral structures. This includes checking for signs of cavities, cracked or damaged teeth, oral cancer, or other dental issues that may require treatment.
Maintaining Your Oral Health Between Cleanings
While regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health, it's also important to practice good oral hygiene habits at home. Be sure to brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash to help reduce plaque and bacteria between cleanings. Additionally, avoid tobacco use and limit your consumption of sugary foods and beverages, which can increase your risk of cavities and gum disease.
