Most dentists we know agree that regular dental checkups and teeth cleans are the best ways to lower your risks for preventable dental conditions. Regular teeth cleans especially may lower your risks for cavities, gingivitis, periodontal disease, and dental emergencies brought on by infection.
Of course, your Glen Waverley dentist may customise your schedule if you’re diagnosed with a condition like periodontal disease, which requires ongoing treatments and special deep cleans to save your teeth and prevent other health complications.
We think dental cleans are definitely worth it and may save you time and money in the long run by lower your risks.
Your Professional Teeth Clean in Mount Waverley
Typically, we recommend seeing your dentist once or twice yearly—depending on your oral health—for checkups and teeth cleans.
Your teeth clean appointment may be considered relaxing, as you lay back and allow a professional to gently clear away debris from your teeth. This is stubborn plaque and bacteria that your toothbrush misses or leaves behind. Plaque, tartar, and bacteria are the key ingredients that may lead to tooth decay, gingivitis, gum disease, and deep root infections.
Preventing or lowering your risks for gum disease is essential because periodontitis is only treatable and not curable. Some studies have linked it to heart health issues, low birth weight in newborns and more.
Your Healthy Habits Play an Important Role
Between dental cleans, it is important to brush and floss daily. A member of our team, or your dentist near me, can provide tips and techniques to help you make the most of your regimen.
And we always encourage you to contact our dental office if you notice an oral health issue between teeth cleans—sensitive teeth, tooth pain, bleeding gums when brushing, or other changes.
