Teeth Cleaning

REGULAR TEETH CLEANING APPOINTMENTS

Preventative Dental Care

Regular teeth cleaning appointments are the basis of preventative care for all patients. During an appointment, all plaque and tartar are removed from your teeth by a dental professional. This helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease, so your smile stays looking great.

In addition to regular teeth cleaning appointments, your dentist will recommend brushing for two minutes twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Keep up a great oral hygiene routine at home, schedule regular dental visits, and you'll keep your mouth healthy!

Prevent Cavities

When plaque builds up on the teeth it eats away at the enamel, creating a cavity. Cavities start small but only get bigger when left untreated. You should see your dentist at Glenstone Dental for regular teeth cleaning appointments so you have exams often and catch any cavities early.

Prevent Gum Disease

Regular teeth cleanings also help prevent gum disease. When plaque and tartar build up on the surfaces of the teeth, the bacteria irritate the gums and they become red, inflamed, and start to pull away from the teeth. Gum disease can lead to loose teeth and tooth loss when it isn't treated, so it's best to be examined twice a year for signs.

Save Time & Money

When you see your dentist for regular teeth cleaning appointments, you are also saving yourself time and money at the dentist. Small cavities can be filled with small fillings, but when you have a tooth with a lot of decay, you could need more costly dental work like a root canal or tooth replacement.
