At Beyond Smiles of Park Ridge, we believe that a healthy, radiant smile begins with proper oral care. Regular teeth cleanings and a good at-home dental care routine are key to keeping your oral health strong and avoiding problems. Our dental hygienists offer gentle and thorough cleanings to keep your smile bright and your mouth healthy.
We use modern techniques and spa-like amenities to make every visit comfortable and relaxing. Whether you need routine teeth cleaning or tips for caring for your teeth at home, our team is ready to help.
The Importance of Professional Teeth Cleaning
Routine dental cleanings and exams play a vital role in your overall oral health. During a dental cleaning, our team removes plaque and tartar that you can’t reach with brushing and flossing at home. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
Regular dental cleanings let our team check your oral health and catch any problems early before they get worse. We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for check-ups and cleanings.
Key Benefits of Dentist Teeth Cleanings:
- Removes stubborn plaque and tartar to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
- Helps preserve a fresh and clean sensation in your mouth.
- Provides early detection of dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer.
- Keeps teeth polished and prevents future buildup of plaque.
What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning Appointment
When you visit Beyond Smiles for teeth cleaning, you can expect a comprehensive and comfortable experience. Here’s what typically happens during your appointment:
- Thorough Examination: Our team examines your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of dental issues. If needed, we may take X-rays to assess your oral health further.
- Plaque and Tartar Removal: We use a hooked tool to remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas between your teeth and along the gumline.
- Polishing: Your teeth are polished to remove light surface stains, add shine, and prevent future plaque buildup.
- Flossing: We professionally floss your teeth to remove debris and ensure a clean finish.
- Fluoride Treatment: If recommended, we apply a fluoride solution to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities.
Our dental office checks your bite, jaw alignment, and dental work to keep your smile healthy and working well.
The Patient’s Role in Maintaining Oral Health
While professional dental cleanings are essential, maintaining good oral hygiene at home is equally important. Incorporating these habits into your daily routine can help you achieve optimal oral health:
- Brush Twice a Day: Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth thoroughly every morning and night.
- Floss Daily: Clean between your teeth once a day to remove food particles and plaque that your toothbrush can’t reach.
- Rinse with Mouthwash: Use an antimicrobial or fluoride mouthwash to reduce bacteria and strengthen enamel.
- Eat a Balanced Diet: Choose tooth-friendly foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and dairy to support strong teeth and gums. Avoid sugary snacks and beverages that can encourage plaque buildup.
- Stay Consistent with Appointments: Visit your dentist at least twice a year for professional teeth cleanings and exams.
