Professional Teeth Cleaning at Briarwood Dental Care
A Clean Mouth, A Confident Smile
Why Teeth Cleaning Is More Than Just a Polish
You clean your teeth every day; you will probably floss the most nights. What other reason do you need for a professional dental cleaning, then?
The truth is that even the most diligent home care results in places where plaque and tartar can make it inside. Over time, this gets built up and it leads to cavities, gum problems, bad breath, or even loss of teeth.
Hence, at Briarwood Dental Care, our professional teeth cleaning service is meant for fresher mouths, healthier gums, and a brighter smile, all in a relaxing and worry-free environment for the patients.
How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?
The general rule is every 6 months, but it depends on your mouth. Some people with a history of gum disease or buildup might benefit from more frequent cleanings, like every 3–4 months. We’ll assess your oral health and recommend a schedule that fits your unique needs.
Benefits of Regular Teeth Cleanings
- Healthy Teeth: Prevent Tooth Decay: If the buildup of plaque creates acid, tooth decay happens. It catches the plaque build-up within cleanings.
- With Cleaning, it Fights Gum Disease: Gingivitis and periodontitis can be relatively silent diseases. Removing tartar can help heal them because it minimizes inflammation in the gums.
- Fresh Breath: Bacteria and food particles want to hide in places your toothbrush can’t reach. That’s where cleansings can help.
- Brighter Smile: Teeth look better when cleaned – goodbye coffee, tea, and tobacco stains!
- Healthier Patients: Be it heart, lung, or even blood sugar, everything is connected to oral health. Healthy mouths are good in overall health.
What Happens During a Teeth Cleaning?
A dental cleaning is a lot more than just “scraping teeth.” It’s a full-mouth refresh. Our friendly hygienists follow a simple, thorough process:
- Check Up: For now, we will start by examining your gums, teeth, and mouth for any signs of inflammation, cavities, or other problems.
- Clean Tartar and Plaque: With special instruments, we take out tartar and plaque accumulated on the sites where a brush could not reach.
- Polishing. Smoothen and shine them by polishing your teeth to that point in time.
- Fluoride treatment optional: We could also suggest a fluoride rinse or gel for added protection-somewhat helpful, particularly for people who tend to have cavities.
