Keep Your Smile Healthy
Keeping your teeth healthy needs more than just brushing and flossing every day. To prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems that could affect your smile, professional dental cleanings are essential. In order to maintain the health of your teeth and gums, North Hill Dental provides comprehensive dental cleanings that aim to remove plaque and tartar accumulation. Additionally, regular cleanings keep your breath fresh and your smile bright, which boosts your self-esteem.
A dental cleaning, sometimes called prophylaxis, is a preventative procedure that cleans teeth of surface stains, tartar, and plaque. Despite careful cleaning and flossing, teeth may accumulate plaque, a sticky layer of bacteria. This plaque eventually turns to tartar, which is impossible to get rid of with simple brushing and requires specialized cleaning equipment. If left unchecked, tartar accumulation can result in cavities, gum disease, and even tooth loss.
North Hill Dental provides a variety of dental cleanings to satisfy the needs of every patient. Our staff will suggest the best kind of cleaning based on your unique oral health requirements and the condition of your teeth and gums.
Beyond just keeping your teeth clean, teeth cleanings have many other advantages. The following are some ways that routine cleanings support the maintenance of ideal dental health and general well-being:
Plaque accumulates and destroys enamel if you do not clean it regularly, making it one of the main causes of tooth decay. Professional cleanings lower the risk of cavities and maintain tooth structure by removing plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing may miss.
Plaque accumulation along the gum line is the first sign of gum disease. If you do not receive treatment, this may eventually result in gingivitis and more serious periodontal disease. Frequent cleanings maintain gums strong and healthy by removing dangerous germs and reducing irritation.
Bacteria and tartar accumulation are frequent causes of foul breath. By clearing your mouth of microorganisms that cause odour, routine cleanings help you maintain fresh breath. Patients who continue to have foul breath in spite of practicing adequate dental hygiene can particularly benefit from this.
In addition to polishing your teeth, professional cleanings eliminate surface stains from smoking, food, and beverages. This is an excellent choice for those who wish to improve their appearance quickly without whitening procedures and can give your smile a natural brightness.
Dental cleanings are advised for all ages, from young toddlers to adults, as part of a thorough oral health regimen. However, the type and frequency of cleaning may change according to each person’s demands and oral health condition.
Even if you haven’t had a professional cleaning recently, you might still benefit from one if you have symptoms like bleeding gums, foul breath, or sensitivity. Our staff will suggest the appropriate cleaning schedule based on your particular requirements and objectives.
