Why Professional Teeth Cleaning is So Important to Your Health

Regular teeth cleaning from us is crucial to maintaining your oral health. We use the latest dental cleaning tools and techniques to remove the plaque and tartar from your teeth thoroughly. Through this process, our staff also removes the stains that certain foods, drinks, and tobacco leave behind. When we’re done, you’ll have a bright and beautiful smile once again. Many of our patients are surprised to learn that our teeth cleaning also provides these benefits:

Preventing Gum Disease: We recommend regular cleanings to help prevent early gum disease (gingivitis) and advanced stages (periodontitis).
Preventing Cavities: When we remove plaque and tartar, we help reduce your risk of tooth decay and cavities.
Fresh Breath: Our staff removes the bacteria and debris that cause bad breath (halitosis).
Early Detection: As professional dentists, we can identify the signs of oral cancer, gum disease, and decay during your teeth cleanings.
Cost Savings: You avoid more expensive dental treatment simply by having us regularly clean and care for your teeth.
Tooth Restoration Maintenance: Our teeth cleaning helps maintain your fillings, crowns, and bridges.
Personalized Oral Hygiene Advice: During your teeth cleaning, our dentists and hygienists offer advice for proper brushing, flossing, and oral hygiene.

Did you know that our teeth cleaning service helps improve your overall health? As a professional dental practice, we follow studies that show a link between oral and overall health. We tell patients that poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, contributing to cardiovascular problems. If you want clean teeth and a healthier body, contact us today to schedule an appointment.

Teeth Cleaning: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Essential Dental Services

Although teeth cleaning is considered a basic dental procedure, it’s our most essential service. Our cleaning removes the plaque and tartar that, if left alone, could cause more significant dental problems. The examinations we offer catch problems in their early stages when they’re easier to treat. Has it been a while since you’ve seen us or any dentist? Here’s a look at how a typical teeth cleaning appointment at our Ann Arbor, MI, office:

Check-in & Review: Our dental team typically reviews your chart and asks if you have any concerns about your teeth.
Oral Examination: We visually examine your mouth for any apparent issues.
Scaling: Using specialized dental instruments, we remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gumline.
Flossing: This is how we remove plaque from the spaces between your teeth.
Root Planing: We provide this treatment when we detect signs of gum disease. It helps us prevent plaque and bacteria from reattaching to teeth.
Polishing: We can remove stains and clean your teeth using polishing paste and dental cleaning equipment.
Fluoride Treatment: We do this to help strengthen your teeth and prevent decay.
Dentist Examination: Our dentists examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
Discussion & Recommendations: Our dentists and hygienists provide oral hygiene instructions and recommend treatments and follow-up appointments.

New patients often ask how often they should see us for our professional teeth cleaning services. We recommend having this procedure once every six months. This schedule is an excellent way for us to maintain the cleanliness of your teeth and track your oral health. If our examination indicates you need additional dental care, we offer cosmetic and general/family dentistry.
