The maintenance of good oral health requires more than just at-home care. While brushing twice daily and flossing every day are an imperative essential for keeping your smile bright and healthy between dental visits, it’s equally important to combine these efforts with professional cleanings and checkups at the Dentist.

Why Are Regular Dental Cleanings Necessary?
Even with excellent home care, some areas of your mouth can’t be cleaned effectively with a toothbrush and floss alone. Professional cleanings at your Dentist’s office provide a deeper clean that removes built-up plaque and tartar, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. We recommend visiting twice a year or as advised by Dr. Ashraf.
What to Expect During Your Checkup and Cleaning
Thorough Examination
During your appointment, we will thoroughly evaluate the health and condition of your teeth and any existing dental work. This includes checking for cavities, gum disease, bite issues, and jaw joint function. We will also discuss and get your inputs on any cosmetic concerns that you may have about your smile, such as the color or alignment of your teeth. In addition, we may perform an oral cancer screening that includes examining your head, neck, teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding tissues.
Professional Cleaning
Along with your exam, we’ll provide a comprehensive cleaning. This cleaning involves removing plaque and tartar from between your teeth and along the gumline. We use an electric brush with a special toothpaste to give your teeth a thorough clean, followed by expert flossing. Depending on your needs, we may also recommend fluoride treatments, sealants, desensitizing, breath control, or gum disease therapy. Our hygiene team will also determine how often you should return for cleanings to keep your oral health in top condition.
