Flossing and brushing are insufficient for cleaning your entire mouth. Bacteria can accumulate in the small areas between your gums and teeth, which only a dentist can access and clean. Professional teeth cleanings, on the other hand, are used for more than just keeping your teeth white. Your dentist analyses the health of your teeth and gums and looks for anomalies that could otherwise go undiscovered. At Hansen Family Dental, we provide affordable dental services so that your oral health is never jeopardized.
Cleaning your teeth thoroughly can remove plaque and tartar accumulation, lowering gum irritation and increasing gum health. Plaque is a harmful substance that forms on the surfaces of the teeth. It is induced by the mixing of food particles with saliva and is bacterial.
Our dentist will carefully examine the state of your teeth and gums before scraping or scaling your teeth to remove all plaque. Following that, they will meticulously polish your teeth, resulting in smoother surfaces that make bacteria less likely to stick to your teeth. Because polishing your teeth removes surface stains, this can be a really pleasant therapy. As part of your hygiene checkup, you can undergo an oral cancer screening, which is a brief and non-invasive examination of the inside of your mouth. Gum disease is caused by plaque or tartar buildup. One such example is gingivitis or gum infection. This is a dangerous infection that causes the bone that protects the teeth to degenerate.
