DENTAL CLEANINGS
The foundation of oral health is proper cleaning and care for your teeth and mouth. This includes daily brushing and flossing as recommended by your dentist, using mouth rinses, and getting regular dental cleanings. Most people need at least two cleanings per year, typically every six months. Deep cleanings may be necessary to treat conditions like gum disease. Keeping up with these appointments is crucial for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing future dental issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most individuals should get routine dental cleanings twice a year, or every six months. However, people at higher risk, such as pregnant women, diabetics, and smokers, may need more frequent cleanings.
Routine cleanings are preventative and focus on removing plaque and tartar. Deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, are recommended for treating gum disease and involve cleaning below the gum line to remove bacteria.
Individuals considered high-risk, such as pregnant women, diabetics, and tobacco users, may require more than two cleanings annually to maintain optimal oral health.
Deep dental cleanings involve removing plaque and tartar from the tooth roots and gum pockets. It may take multiple treatments to see improvement in gum health, especially for those with periodontal disease.
To maintain oral health at home, brush twice a day, floss daily, and use mouth rinses as directed. Replacing your toothbrush every three months and asking your hygienist for proper brushing and flossing techniques can also help.
