Brushing and flossing your teeth daily can prevent tooth decay and gum disease, but they’re not enough. Professional dental cleaning should also be a part of preventive care. Your dentist is your partner in maintaining optimal oral health, and it’s best to meet them at least twice a year or every six months for professional cleaning. If you have yet to find one, just visit us here at Lynnwood Dental Studio, and we customize a care plan to protect your smile.
Are professional cleanings necessary?
You might brush, rinse, and floss religiously, but they are not enough to protect your teeth and gums in the long run. Professional dental cleanings are also a chance for our dentist to examine your overall oral health to find and treat any problems before they worsen. During your visit, we will conduct X-rays to identify signs of damaging dental conditions, such as periodontal disease and tooth decay. Then, we will do a thorough cleaning by eliminating tartar and plaque from the surface and between your teeth.
Another good reason to consider professional dental cleaning is you could be missing certain areas during brushing and flossing. Over time, plaque forms and discolors your teeth. Plus, it can become tartar, and make you more susceptible to gum disease. Only a dentist’s professional cleaning tools can remove hardened plaque and tartar safely and effectively. So, it’s still best to schedule a cleaning appointment, especially if you’re prone to periodontitis. We recommend cleaning every three to four months if you suffer from gum disease.
For a healthy smile
Professional dental cleaning does more than keep your mouth healthy. With a cleaner mouth, you can have fresher breath and increase your confidence when you speak or laugh. Plus, cleaning helps eliminate stubborn stains that can affect your smile.
