Why Teeth Cleaning Is So Important

Brush twice a day, floss, rinse, you do it so why should you need to get your teeth cleaned so often? Just like teeth whitening you can do as good of a job as you are capable of when you on your own but it will never be the caliber of having it done professionally. Teeth cleaning at Community Dental Group is going to be much different than anything you can do at home, although it makes it much easier and more effective if you do maintain quality oral hygiene on your own.

Plaque

There is a reason it is so close to the word plague. The plaque build up we are all trying to avoid by brushing and flossing and rinsing and watching what we eat is the main reason you need a professional to work on it. Plaque is a strong substance that really sticks to your teeth and in order to get rid of it appropriately one must have the proper tools and knowledge. The main goal for home care is to decrease plaque build up enough that on your next visit to see us you won’t need to be scraped but just cleaned nicely. However, the beauty of the intense cleaning is that we can get off so much more plaque it is like you are starting over every-time you leave.

Teeth Whitening

The intensity of the regular cleaning will absolutely whiten your teeth even before we add the fluoride treatment or any other whitening procedure you are seeking. It’s simply based off of how much more stain and discoloration the tools can get off than any other oral hygiene device. Your job is maintenance, our job is restoration.

Gum Health

Gingivitis is one of the most common causes of anything gross in your mouth. Smells, inflammation and pain can all stem from the gum disease. Routine cleanings are the only way we can keep track of how you are doing on your gum health. It is less noticeable to the patients that there are receding gum lines or any pockets of concern unless we are able to get in there and really do some work. Your gums are literally holding your oral hygiene together and they deserve to get as much cleaning attention as any of other part.

Although, you can do a great job of keeping healthy at home, we are here to insure your oral hygiene is that of someone who will have their teeth for a long time. Routine cleaning is the only way to keep strong teeth and keep them clean.
