You have good oral hygiene. You brush your teeth two times a day, floss religiously every night, and try to maintain a healthy diet. So, do you still need professional dental cleanings?
Here's the thing, professional dental cleanings will not only leave your teeth looking cleaner and brighter but also help prevent more serious dental issues such as cavities and gum disease.
Let's find out more!
What Happens During a Professional Dental Cleaning?
First, Dr. Jessica Singh will perform a visual examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of gum disease, cavities, or other oral health issues. Based on this assessment, she may indicate further investigations or treatment. Then, using the latest technology, Dr. Jessica Singh will scrape off plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline. She will also floss between your teeth to remove any remaining plaque and ensure that all areas between the teeth are clean.
Once your teeth are cleaned, she will polish them to remove surface stains and smooth out the tooth surfaces. Dr. Singh may also apply a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities.
The Benefits of Professional Dental Cleanings
Plaque and tartar removal
No matter how well and thoroughly you brush your teeth, not even the most sophisticated toothbrush on the market can remove all traces of plaque. Moreover, it's almost impossible to reach every nook and cranny in your mouth.
Regular dental cleanings effectively remove plaque and tartar buildup and prevent issues like gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.
Early Detection
Regular cleanings and check-ups make it possible for your Burbank dentist to identify and treat dental problems, such as cavities and gum disease, in their early stages.
Tooth Loss Prevention
Regular cleanings and checkups can help to prevent tooth loss by detecting and treating gum disease in the early stages. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a condition that could lead to tooth loss.
Enhance Your Smile
Dental cleanings can remove surface stains and improve the appearance of your teeth, resulting in a brighter, more confident smile.
Maintain a Fresh Breath
Regular cleanings reduce the buildup of bacteria that can cause persistent bad breath, helping you maintain a fresh, clean mouth.
It's Cheaper
By catching dental issues early and maintaining proper oral hygiene, you can potentially save on expensive dental procedures, such as root canals or implants.
