Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Assessment
Our skilled dental hygienists carefully evaluate your oral health during each visit. Their role includes:
- Checking your soft tissues for any signs of disease or abnormalities
- Measuring gum attachment levels to detect potential gum disease
- Removing plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth
- Providing customized guidance for maintaining optimal oral health
Our hygienists enjoy working closely with every patient and collaborate with our dentists to create effective long-term dental care plans.
Why Professional Teeth Cleaning Matters
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque can accumulate on your teeth. Over time, this can lead to tooth decay, pain, and in severe cases, partial or complete tooth loss.
Understanding Plaque and Tartar
Plaque is a sticky, white film that continuously forms on your teeth. Bacteria in plaque produce acids that wear down enamel and irritate your gums. This irritation can trigger inflammation, potentially leading to gingivitis or periodontal disease.
If plaque is not removed regularly through brushing and flossing, it hardens into calculus (also known as tartar). Only a dental professional can remove calculus during a cleaning; brushing alone is not enough. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, brush twice daily, floss at least once daily, and visit your dentist for routine professional cleanings.
