Cleaning and Prevention
Dentistry is founded on the principle of prevention. All patients are recommended 6 monthly cleans and examinations. Not only do they help you discover dental problems before they arise, they leave your gums healthier, and your teeth cleaner and whiter.
A professional cleaning removes hard plaque that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone.
We also recommend a fluoride treatment and polish to help protect and soothe your teeth and gums. Even if you haven’t had a cleaning in over two years, it’s never too late to treat your teeth.
What are some preventative measures I can take?
Brush with a fluoride toothpaste
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush after each meal
Floss daily before bedtime
Use an oral rinse after flossing
Avoid sugary foods, coffee, and tobacco
