Why Are Professional Teeth Cleanings Important?

Teeth cleanings are a vital part of maintaining good oral health and preventing serious dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings remove these deposits, leaving your teeth and gums healthier and your smile refreshed.

At Bolduc Dental, our expert hygienists use advanced tools and techniques to ensure a thorough and comfortable cleaning experience. Regular cleanings are the foundation of a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Benefits of Routine Teeth Cleanings

• Prevention of Tooth Decay and Gum Disease:
  Professional cleanings reduce plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities and periodontal issues.

• Brighter Smile:
  Teeth cleanings remove surface stains caused by food, drinks, and tobacco, leaving your teeth looking whiter.

• Fresher Breath:
  Say goodbye to bad breath with a deep cleaning that removes bacteria and food particles.

• Early Detection of Dental Issues:
  Regular visits allow us to spot potential problems early, ensuring timely and effective treatment.

What to Expect During Your Cleaning

1. Examination:
   Before the cleaning, we check your teeth and gums to ensure they’re healthy and identify any potential issues.

2. Scaling and Plaque Removal:
   Our hygienist uses specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

3. Polishing:
   Your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth and clean.

4. Fluoride Treatment (Optional):
   For added protection, we may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and guard against cavities.

How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?

For most patients, we recommend scheduling teeth cleanings every six months. However, those with certain conditions, such as gum disease, may benefit from more frequent cleanings. Our team at Bolduc Dental will tailor a cleaning schedule to meet your specific needs.
