Why Dental Cleanings Are Important for Oral Health

Routine dental cleanings go beyond just a polished smile. They remove plaque and tartar that can cause cavities and gum disease, conditions that are often hard to reverse if left untreated. When plaque isn’t removed, it hardens into tartar, which can irritate gums and lead to gum disease. During a cleaning, our hygienist carefully removes these deposits, leaving your teeth clean and helping to protect them from future decay.

Dental cleanings also serve as a preventive measure for overall health. Research shows that oral health is closely connected to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses. By keeping your teeth and gums healthy, you’re supporting your overall health as well.

What to Expect During Your Cleaning at Pickett Family Dental

A cleaning at our office is comfortable and straightforward, designed to give you a clean, refreshed smile. Here’s what you can expect:

Examination: We begin each cleaning with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to identify any areas needing special attention. This allows us to tailor your cleaning to maximize your oral health benefits.
Plaque and Tartar Removal: Using gentle tools, we remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline. This step is critical for preventing cavities and gum disease, ensuring your teeth stay strong.
Polishing and Flossing: After removing the tartar, we polish your teeth with a special toothpaste to remove surface stains and make your smile shine. We also floss to remove any leftover debris and show you effective flossing techniques to maintain your oral hygiene at home.
Fluoride Treatment (optional): For patients needing extra cavity protection, we may apply a fluoride treatment. Fluoride helps strengthen your enamel and provides long-lasting protection against decay.

Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings

There are numerous benefits to keeping up with your cleanings every six months:

Reduced Risk of Cavities: Cleanings remove plaque and bacteria, helping prevent tooth decay.
Healthier Gums: Regular removal of plaque and tartar keeps your gums strong and healthy, reducing the risk of gum disease.
