Everything included in Cleaning & Prevention
Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings, performed by a registered dental hygienist, are a crucial part of preventive dental care. By removing plaque and tartar, your oral health is improved and your risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease is reduced. Cleanings are completed with polishing to remove stains and leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
Exams
Even with a strong home-care routine, regular exams and cleanings remain essential. Dental exams are the cornerstone of good oral health and help detect more serious issues early. During your exam, the dentist may assess gum health, diagnose decay, take and analyze x-rays, screen for oral cancer, verify restorations, and recommend treatment when needed.
Brushing
Plaque builds up quickly after eating and drinking. Brushing at least twice a day is important to remove it before it leads to tooth decay or periodontal disease. If plaque is not removed, it hardens into calculus, which cannot be removed with regular brushing and requires professional instruments.
Flossing
Daily flossing is an effective way to clean the areas that brushing cannot reach. It helps remove plaque buildup between teeth and below the gumline, supporting healthier gums and a more complete oral hygiene routine.
Mouth Rinses
Over-the-counter mouth rinses can help fight bad breath, remove loose food particles after brushing, and freshen the mouth. However, they are never a substitute for brushing, flossing, or regular dental examinations and may hide warning signs of gum disease.
Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease)
Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and affects only the soft tissues. It is caused by plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline and can lead to inflamed, irritated, or bleeding gums. Gingivitis is reversible with professional cleaning and good home care. More advanced disease, called periodontitis, affects the bone and supporting structures of the teeth and may require more aggressive treatment such as deep cleaning, localized antibiotics, and more frequent maintenance visits.
