Keep Your Smile Healthy with a Teeth Cleaning
Your smile is more than just a feature; it’s a reflection of your health! Having a checkup and regular teeth cleaning is a preventive approach to your dental care. Our treatments aim to prevent problems with your teeth, gums, and bone structure. They also catch and manage problems before they worsen and become more difficult to treat! During your visit to our practice, Dr. Pate will evaluate the current state of your dental health and what you might need to change to keep your oral hygiene at its best.
The Power of Prevention
Regular teeth cleanings offer a multitude of benefits that extend beyond just a clean mouth. By removing plaque and tartar buildup, professional teeth cleanings can help:
- Prevent gum disease, especially since periodontitis is most commonly caused by bacteria buildup.
- Detect oral health problems early to allow for prompt treatment that prevents more serious problems, especially those sudden toothaches when you least expect it.
- Enhance your appearance with a bright, clean smile. Aesthetics and function aside, many of our patients love the smooth, polished feel after a dental cleaning!
Teeth Cleaning That Refreshes Your Smile
A typical teeth cleaning appointment with Dr. Pate is not only relaxing but also rejuvenating! Your visit will start with our dental hygienist, who will gently remove any plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth and gums to make them feel clean and refreshed. We get into all the hard-to-reach places, cleaning any deposits and stopping harmful bacteria right in its tracks. After your cleaning, we’ll polish your teeth to give them a sparkling finish and remove any remaining surface stains. This is also a great time to talk to our friendly team about our Professional Teeth Whitening if you’re looking to go a few shades lighter! To help protect your teeth from cavities, we can also apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel. Finally, Dr. Pate will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw to ensure your oral health is in excellent condition. If she finds anything abnormal, she will walk you through your diagnosis and suggest potential ways to tackle your dental treatment.
