The Benefits of Teeth Cleaning & Prevention Services

Our Teeth Cleaning & Prevention Services
Teeth Cleaning
Teeth cleaning is a preventive dental service that removes plaque, tartar, and stains on the teeth. During a teeth cleaning appointment, our skilled dental professionals use specialized tools to carefully clean the surfaces of the teeth and below the gum line. These are areas often missed at home. Regular teeth cleaning appointments every six months are critical to maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing future dental problems.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are a vital preventive service from Pearly Whites Dental Care. Early detection significantly increases the success rate of treatment. At your screening, our preventive dentist will examine your mouth for any signs of precancerous conditions or cancerous growths, including lumps, irregular tissue changes, or unexplained sores. If abnormalities are found, further diagnostic tests may be recommended. Our oral cancer screenings are quick and potentially lifesaving.
Dental Hygiene Education
Dental hygiene education is a cornerstone of preventive dentistry at Pearly Whites Dental Care. We teach patients the proper techniques for brushing, flossing, and caring for their teeth and gums at home. Our dental professionals provide personalized recommendations based on each patient’s needs, including advice on the best dental products and dietary habits for oral wellness.
Gum Disease Screening and Treatment
During a dental checkup, our team screens for early signs of gum disease. This screening involves examining the gums for signs of inflammation, measuring the depth of the pockets around your teeth, and sometimes taking X-rays to check for bone loss. If gum disease is detected, treatment options may include professional cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooth out the roots of the teeth to promote healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs I need to schedule a professional teeth cleaning appointment?
+Some clear signs include visible tartar buildup, which appears as a yellow or brownish deposit between the teeth or at the gum line; inflamed or bleeding gums, especially when brushing or flossing; persistent bad breath; and if it’s been longer than six months since your last dental checkup.
Is teeth cleaning comfortable?
+Most patients find professional dental cleanings to be smooth and easy with little to no sensitivity. If your gums are tender or there is significant tartar buildup, you might notice some extra sensations, but our team uses gentle techniques to ensure a positive experience. Always feel free to share any concerns. We’re here to support you and keep your smile healthy!
Can regular teeth cleaning appointments help tooth sensitivity?
+Yes, regular teeth cleaning appointments can help manage tooth sensitivity. Sensitivity is often caused by factors like plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to gum disease and expose the sensitive root surfaces of your teeth. By removing this buildup, dental cleaning can reduce gum inflammation and limit the exposure of these sensitive areas.
