How Often do I Need a Dental Cleaning?
We highly recommend you schedule dental cleanings and checkups every six months to maintain optimal oral health. However, the frequency of these visits can differ based on your unique dental needs. More frequent visits might be necessary to protect your smile if you have specific medical conditions. Our skilled technicians will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums during your appointment, effectively removing plaque and tartar build-up. Additionally, we conduct a detailed examination to check for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other oral health concerns. Importantly, we also clean below the gum line—a crucial step your home care routine cannot achieve. This deep cleaning eliminates harmful bacteria and residue that could lead to cavities, gingivitis, and other serious oral issues, ensuring your smile is healthy and bright.
Why Do I Need Regular Dental Cleanings and Checkups?
Regular dental cleanings are essential for several reasons:
Preventive Care
Professional dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing might miss. This prevents cavities and gum disease.
Early Detection
Dentists can spot potential issues, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer, allowing for timely treatment.
Better Oral Health
Regular visits and cleanings help maintain your oral health, ensuring your teeth and gums stay strong and disease-free.
Whiter Teeth
Cleanings can help remove stains from your teeth, giving you a brighter, more radiant smile.
Avoiding Costly Treatments
Preventing issues with dental cleanings can save you money in the long run, as treating dental problems can be more expensive and complex.
Personalized Advice
Your dentist can provide tailored advice on your oral hygiene routine, including tips specific to your needs.
What is Involved in Your Dental Cleaning Visit?
The first step in your dental cleaning is examining your overall tooth health. Our dentists will examine you for any signs of tooth damage, chipping, decay, or cavities. We then clean and polish your teeth. At this point, we’ll assess your overall dental health and offer suggestions for your home dental care.
Patients need to understand that a considerable part of their oral hygiene is in their hands between cleanings. This should include brushing their teeth at least twice daily, using a disinfecting mouthwash, and flossing. In some instances, depending on the state of your oral health, we may recommend the use of a specific brand of mouthwash or toothpaste. We’ll schedule your next dental cleaning and follow-up. As a result of your visit, you’ll have an incredible feeling of “clean” in your mouth and a much brighter smile when you leave our office.
What could Happen if I Skipped Regular Dental Cleanings?
Not having regular dental cleanings can lead to several consequences, including:
- Plaque and Tartar Build-up: Without regular cleanings, plaque can harden into tartar, which is much harder to remove and can lead to more serious dental issues.
- Cavities: The accumulation of plaque can contribute to tooth decay, which may result in cavities that require fillings or other treatments.
- Gum Disease: Neglecting dental cleanings increases the risk of gum disease, ranging from gingivitis (mild inflammation of the gums) to periodontitis (a more severe condition that can lead to tooth loss).
- Bad Breath: The build-up of bacteria from not cleaning your teeth can result in persistent bad breath.
- Staining and Discoloration: Regular cleanings help remove surface stains from teeth. Without them, teeth may become yellowed or stained over time.
- General Health Issues: Poor oral hygiene has been linked to various health issues, such as heart disease and diabetes, as oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream.
- Increased Dental Costs: Skipping regular dental visits can lead to more complex and costly dental procedures if problems arise that could have been prevented with regular cleanings.
