Preventive Services Include

• Dental Cleanings

  

  Regular cleanings are crucial for removing plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be addressed by brushing and flossing alone. Our thorough cleanings help prevent gum disease and cavities, keeping your smile healthy. During these professional cleanings, a dental hygienist uses specialized tools to carefully remove hardened deposits from your teeth and along the gum line. This process not only enhances the appearance of your teeth but also significantly reduces the risk of developing periodontal disease and dental decay. Additionally, regular cleanings allow for early detection of potential issues, enabling timely intervention and more effective treatment. By maintaining consistent dental hygiene appointments, you can ensure your teeth and gums remain in optimal condition, contributing to your overall health and well-being.

• Root Planning and Scaling

  

  These procedures are vital for treating and preventing gum disease. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line, while root planing smooths the tooth roots, promoting the reattachment of the gums. Scaling involves using specialized instruments to meticulously clean the surfaces of the teeth and root areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing. Root planing, on the other hand, smooths the rough spots on the tooth roots where bacteria tend to accumulate, reducing inflammation and allowing the gums to heal and reattach more firmly to the teeth. These deep cleaning techniques are essential for managing periodontal disease, preventing its progression, and maintaining the health of your gums and supporting bone structure. Regular periodontal maintenance through scaling and root planing helps preserve your natural teeth and promotes overall oral health.

• Polishing

  

  The final step in our preventive care routine, polishing leaves your teeth smooth and shiny, reducing the risk of future plaque buildup. Polishing involves using a special paste and a rotating brush to gently buff the surfaces of your teeth. This process not only enhances the appearance of your smile by removing surface stains but also makes it more difficult for plaque and tartar to adhere to your teeth. By smoothing out minor imperfections and creating a slick surface, polishing contributes to a cleaner, healthier mouth. Regular polishing as part of your dental hygiene visits helps maintain the longevity of your teeth and supports overall oral health, making it an essential component of a comprehensive preventive care plan.
