Are your teeth due for a professional deep cleaning? Dental professionals recommend a thorough cleaning at least every six months to prevent plaque buildup and reduce the risk of gum disease. If it’s been a while since your last visit, a deep dental cleaning may be just what you need. At Cedarwood Dentistry, we provide expert dental cleanings at our Midlothian office, leaving your smile feeling fresh and healthy!
Comprehensive Dental Cleaning Services
Regular dental exams are essential for maintaining oral health. During a routine visit, we take X-rays to identify potential concerns and provide a thorough assessment. At Cedarwood Dentistry, Dr. Chris Wolberg examines your mouth for signs of gum disease or decay and conducts a detailed head and neck evaluation.
Our expert hygienists perform deep cleanings that include scaling and root planing to remove tartar and plaque. If left untreated, plaque can harden and lead to gum disease, which is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
Deep Dental Cleaning
A thorough exam by your dentist is the best way to maintain dental health and wellness. Part of a routine visit includes x-rays to pinpoint any areas of concern. Next, the dentist will assess the patient’s mouth for signs of gum disease or decay and perform a thorough head and neck exam.
Deep cleaning involves scaling and root planing, which removes tartar and plaque from your teeth. If left untreated, plaque can harden and cause inflammation – a symptom of gum disease. Gum disease is common and is the most prevalent reason for tooth loss among adults.
Developing Healthy Dental Habits
Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. Ideally, adults should visit their dental care provider every six months for a thorough cleaning and updated X-rays. However, we understand that consistent visits don’t always happen. After a deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, regular oral care helps keep your gums healthy.
At Cedarwood Dentistry, we go beyond routine cleanings by teaching you and your family the best techniques for brushing and flossing. We also recommend the most effective dental care products to ensure your teeth last a lifetime. To maintain optimal oral health, schedule regular dental cleanings after your initial consultation.
Developing Healthy Habits
Ideally, every adult will visit their dental care provider every six months for a current x-ray and thorough cleaning. Alas, consistent visits to the dentist do not always occur. After a deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, your gums become healthier with regular oral care. Your dentist can demonstrate for you the appropriate way to brush and floss.
Furthermore, good oral hygiene and dental health extends beyond remembering to brush; we want to teach you and your family members the best ways to take care of your teeth. We have suggestions for the best products to use so that your teeth last a lifetime! Maintain a regimen of dental appointments according to your dentist’s recommendations after an initial consultation visit.
