Prevention is the foundation of a healthy smile. Regular dental cleanings and fluoride treatments are essential in maintaining strong teeth and preventing cavities. Our gentle, thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, while fluoride treatments provide an extra layer of protection to keep your enamel strong and cavity-free.
Our goal is to make your visit as comfortable and relaxing as possible, ensuring you leave with a fresh, clean smile and the knowledge to keep your teeth healthy between appointments.
Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?
Even with diligent brushing and flossing, some areas of your teeth can still accumulate plaque and tartar over time. Professional cleanings help remove this buildup, preventing gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues. Regular cleanings also allow Dr. Simpson to monitor your oral health and catch minor concerns before they become more serious.
The Benefits of Routine Cleanings
- Prevent Cavities and Gum Disease: Removing plaque and tartar buildup helps prevent cavities and the development of gum disease.
- Maintain Fresh Breath: Regular cleanings help eliminate bacteria and buildup that can cause bad breath.
- Keep Your Smile Bright: Professional polishing removes surface stains, giving your teeth a brighter, healthier appearance.
- Support Overall Health: Good oral health contributes to your overall well-being, reducing the risk of complications like heart disease and diabetes.
Fluoride Treatments to Strengthen Your Smile
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay. During your visit, we may recommend a fluoride treatment to give your teeth an extra boost of protection. Fluoride is especially beneficial for children, but adults can also benefit – especially if they are prone to cavities or have weakened enamel.
What to Expect During Your Cleaning and Fluoride Treatment
Your dental cleaning will begin with a gentle yet thorough removal of plaque and tartar; we’ll give some extra special attention to areas that are hard to reach with regular brushing. We’ll then polish your teeth, leaving them smooth and shiny. During your fluoride treatment, a fluoride gel or varnish is applied to the teeth. It quickly absorbs into the enamel to provide long-lasting protection.
The entire process is quick and comfortable, and our friendly team is here to answer any questions you have along the way.
Keep Your Smile Strong Between Visits
In addition to professional cleanings and fluoride treatments, maintaining good oral hygiene at home is essential for long-term health. Be sure to brush twice a day, floss daily, and use fluoride toothpaste to keep your teeth clean and protected. Dr. Simpson may also recommend personalized tips and tools based on your unique needs.
