Dental Cleanings

A dental cleaning or dental hygiene treatment focuses on removing the mineral deposits that build up on your teeth. While brushing and flossing your teeth every day is important, dental plaque will still accumulate below the gumline and in hard to reach places. If these minerals (tartar) aren’t cleaned away, you may experience gum disease and maybe even tooth loss.

Your dental hygienist is a professional; they have the right tools and the right technique to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, even in the hard-to-reach-spots. While they work, the dental hygienist will make a note of any spots you might be missing in your oral hygiene routine. They’ll talk about what needs to change in your day-to-day tooth care, and make sure you have all the tools and information you need.

The Importance of Good Oral Hygiene At Home

While dental exams and professional cleanings are an essential part of your oral hygiene routine so is brushing and flossing. You should be brushing your teeth at least twice per day, and flossing at least once per day. You should also brush your tongue to remove food particles and bacteria. This will help keep your breath fresh and prevent food particles and bacteria from moving back to your teeth after you brush.

To help ensure that you are brushing correctly, you should select a brush with soft bristles and a small head. The small head allows your toothbrush to remove plaque and food particles from hard to reach areas and the soft bristles help to prevent damage from aggressive brushing.
