Teeth cleanings are an integral part of preventive dental care. They remove plaque deposits from your teeth and clean the gums, thus preventing dental problems. You can maintain good oral health with regular teeth cleanings and efficient oral hygiene practices at home. Additionally, they help prevent future dental issues that may require more extensive dental work. At Complete Dental Health in Albany, Oregon, we provide efficient teeth cleanings to help you maintain your oral health in top condition.
Preventing Dental Problems through Cleanings & Prevention
Prevention and early diagnosis are vital to avoiding tooth cavities and gum disease. They can also help your overall health, which is connected to dental health. Periodontal disease can increase the bacterial levels in the mouth, which can travel to other parts of your body through the bloodstream.
Prevention begins with controlling plaque, colorless bacteria that sticks to the surface of your teeth, and tartar, a hardened mineral deposit. They are the primary sources of decay and periodontal disease. Regularly undertaking a comprehensive cleaning of your mouth can help you have better oral and overall health. As a bonus, you can achieve a beautiful and healthy smile. Our hygienists will assist you with your oral hygiene and the management of your gums.
A nutritious, balanced diet plays a vital role in oral health. We will educate you on the foods that will be beneficial for the growth and development of your oral structures. Preventive dentistry treatments like teeth cleanings, fluoride, and sealant applications will help ward off tooth decay and control the spread of gum diseases.
