Routine Cleanings.
At Brighter Smiles Niagara, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile. Our routine cleanings are designed to help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health, preventing dental issues before they become more serious.
What Are Routine Cleanings?
Routine cleanings are essential dental hygiene appointments aimed at removing plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. These cleanings are typically recommended every six months to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy and free from potential problems. Regular cleanings help in:
Preventing Cavities: By removing plaque and tartar buildup, we help prevent the formation of cavities and tooth decay.
Preventing Gum Disease: Regular cleanings help in preventing gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) by keeping your gums healthy and reducing inflammation.
Brightening Your Smile: Our cleanings can remove surface stains, helping your teeth look whiter and brighter.
Early Detection: Routine cleanings allow us to monitor your oral health and catch any potential issues early on, before they require more extensive treatments.
What to Expect During Your Cleaning
Examination: We start with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to identify any areas of concern.
Plaque and Tartar Removal: Using specialized tools, we carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, including those hard-to-reach areas.
Polishing: We polish your teeth to remove surface stains and give them a smooth, clean finish.
