Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleaning is essential for maintaining optimal oral health. It involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, ensuring a healthy mouth and a bright smile. At Smile Dsign, we emphasize the importance of dental cleaning as a preventive measure against various dental issues.
The Process
Examination: The procedure begins with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. This helps identify any potential issues such as cavities, gum disease, or other oral health concerns.
Scaling: The next step is scaling, where specialized tools are used to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the tooth surfaces and below the gumline. This step is crucial in preventing gum disease and tooth decay.
Polishing: After scaling, your teeth are polished to remove any remaining stains and smooth the tooth surface. This helps in reducing the adhesion of plaque in the future.
Fluoride Treatment: In some cases, a fluoride treatment is applied to strengthen the tooth enamel and provide added protection against decay.
Benefits
Prevention of Cavities: Dental cleaning removes plaque, the leading cause of tooth decay. Regular removal of this sticky, bacteria-laden film helps prevent cavities.
Gum Disease Prevention: Tartar and plaque buildup can lead to gum disease, which can cause serious oral health problems if left untreated. Regular cleanings help maintain healthy gums.
Fresher Breath: Bad breath, or halitosis, is often caused by poor oral hygiene. Regular cleanings help eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath.
Overall Health Improvement: Poor oral health is linked to various systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Keeping your mouth clean contributes to better overall health.
At Smile Dsign, we recommend bi-annual dental cleanings as part of your oral health routine. Our experienced team ensures a comfortable and thorough cleaning process, helping you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
