Busy Dallas families know that regular dental exams, especially professional cleanings, are essential for maintaining good oral health and a dazzling smile. But jam-packed schedules and work constraints can mean neglecting dental health visits.
See why prioritizing your oral health with regular professional cleanings can be a smart move for Dallas families.
What’s Included in Your Professional Cleaning
To keep that smile bright, Bliss Dental of Dallas recommends scheduling a professional cleaning every six months. Your skilled dental hygienist or dentist will perform the following services during your visit:
- A thorough oral exam to rule out tooth decay, oral cancers, or gum disease
- Deep cleaning of teeth to remove tartar and plaque, followed by a polishing process
- In some cases, a fluoride treatment is included, depending on the age of the patient
Professional Cleaning Protects Against Tooth Decay
The biggest reason for a professional dental cleaning is to keep both tooth decay and gum disease at bay. Regular cleanings are a great way to keep your teeth and gums at their peak health. As with any risk of serious disease, your Dallas dentist can pinpoint problems early while examining your teeth and gums during and after cleaning. It’s not just limited to disease or oral cancer. A meticulous exam can also uncover bite issues like TMJ or misaligned teeth.
Routine Dental Cleaning Supports Better Overall Health
Did you know that other health issues are linked to poor dental health, like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections? Bacteria can linger in your mouth and find their way into your bloodstream, leading to more serious health conditions. Professional cleanings with our Bliss Dental Dallas team all but eliminate this dangerous bacteria, and your hygienist will provide valuable education on maintaining good hygiene at home.
Preserve Your Dallas Family’s Best Smiles
Regular cleanings keep your smile bright and white and can keep bad breath (halitosis) away. The hygienist’s equipment is designed to work with all types of teeth or dental work, including orthodontic appliances.
Regular Cleanings Enforce Good Oral Healthcare Habits
Routine dental visits teach children and teenagers good dental health practices early, and that means that they are more likely to continue to follow the recommended schedule for cleanings and exams when they reach adulthood. Your dentist’s staff are the best teachers at brushing, flossing, and overall care of your teeth and gums.
