We offer comprehensive dental hygiene treatments to help you keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition.
The Importance of Dental Hygiene
Regular dental hygiene treatments are essential for preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can still build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings help remove these deposits, reducing the risk of cavities, gum inflammation, and more serious conditions like periodontal disease.
Our Dental Hygiene Services
- Professional Teeth Cleaning (Scale and Polish)- A professional cleaning, also known as a scale and polish, is a key component of dental hygiene. During this procedure, our skilled hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, particularly in areas that are difficult to clean at home. After scaling, your teeth are polished to remove surface stains, leaving your smile feeling fresh and looking brighter.
- Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment - Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common but preventable condition. Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can be reversed with proper care, but if left untreated, it can progress to more serious forms that can lead to tooth loss. Our hygiene treatments include thorough cleaning and education on effective home care techniques to prevent and manage gum disease.
- Oral Health Education - We believe that patient education is a vital part of maintaining good oral health. During your hygiene visit, our team will provide personalized advice on brushing, flossing, and other aspects of oral care. We’ll also discuss dietary choices and lifestyle habits that can impact your dental health.
- Fluoride Treatments - Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. We offer fluoride treatments as part of our hygiene services, particularly for patients who are at higher risk for decay. These treatments can help protect your teeth and reduce the likelihood of future dental issues.
- Dental Sealants - For added protection against cavities, especially in children, we offer dental sealants. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay often starts. This simple procedure can provide long-lasting protection and is an excellent preventive measure.
- Bad Breath (Halitosis) Treatment - Persistent bad breath can be a sign of underlying dental or medical issues. Our hygiene treatments include a thorough assessment to identify the cause of halitosis and provide effective solutions. Regular cleanings, along with personalized advice on oral hygiene practices, can help you maintain fresh breath and confidence.
