How Often Do I Need A Teeth Cleaning?

The American Dental Association recommends that everyone gets a professional teeth cleaning twice a year. This is to ensure that you maintain optimal oral health. Yes, brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing and rinsing with mouthwash are essential to your oral health, but a professional teeth cleaning goes a step further.

It is a key part of preventing more serious oral health complications including periodontal disease, cavities and even tooth loss. This preventative care visit allows our team at Lansdowne Dentistry by Design to get to know you, understand your oral health and detect any signs of problems early on before they worsen. Plus, our caring dental hygienists will have you leaving our office with a fresh smile that allows you to feel empowered!

The Teeth Cleaning Process At Lansdowne Dentistry By Design

At your routine dental check-up at Lansdowne Dentistry by Design, our expert team will professionally clean your teeth and offer personalized care that is tailored to your unique needs. We take pride in providing our patients with genuine, compassionate care that allows you to feel comfortable while our team goes to work, ensuring you receive a thorough teeth cleaning experience, which may include:

  • Scaling: This step involves the professional removal of any plaque and tartar build-up on your teeth and between the gums that can lead to tooth decay and cavities.

  • Polishing: After scaling, we will use a special dental paste to polish your teeth and get rid of any stain or biofilm on the surfaces of your teeth while keeping your enamel healthy.

  • Dental X-Rays: Lansdowne Dentistry by Design proudly utilizes advanced technology in order to capture digital images of your entire oral cavity in one quick movement to ensure you remain comfortable.

  • Preventative Treatments: Depending on your case, we may recommend preventative care treatments such as fluoride or dental sealants to offer an added layer of protection for your teeth.

  • Oral Health Exam: Our dentists will perform a thorough oral health exam, which may include an oral cancer screening, and check for any signs of cavities or additional oral health problems.

Benefits Of Teeth Cleaning

Nearly a quarter of adults between the ages of 29-44 have a cavity that hasn’t been treated, according to the CDC. If you leave a cavity untreated, it can have serious consequences for your oral health and overall well-being. Not only can it cause serious pain, but it may lead to an infection, tooth loss and ultimately require more costly, invasive treatments later down the road. The good news is that you can prevent cavities and catch them early, before they progress, with a regular teeth cleaning. Some extra benefits of a teeth cleaning include:

  • Gum Disease Prevention: By removing stubborn plaque and tartar that has accumulated on your teeth, you reduce the risk of developing gum disease.

  • Protection Against Cavities: As previously mentioned, a teeth cleaning can protect your teeth from decay, which can cause cavities.

  • Fresh Breath: It eliminates bacteria that ultimately causes bad breath.

  • Gorgeous Smile: Our team takes pride in crafting beautiful, healthy smiles that allow you to leave our Lansdowne office with a boost in confidence!
