Dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, involve the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. Even with diligent at-home care, plaque can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. Tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, which is why regular cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health.
During a dental cleaning appointment, our dental hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth, paying special attention to areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing. This process not only helps prevent cavities and gum disease but also contributes to fresher breath and a more attractive smile.
Regular dental cleanings also provide an opportunity for early detection of potential oral health issues. Our dentists can identify early signs of gum disease, cavities, and other dental problems during your visit, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing more severe issues in the future.
At Langley Dental Clinic, we recommend that most patients have their teeth cleaned every six months, although some individuals with specific dental conditions may need more frequent cleanings. Our team is dedicated to providing gentle and thorough care to ensure your comfort and well-being during each visit. Don’t wait until you have a dental issue to see us. Schedule your regular dental cleaning at Langley Dental Clinic today and take a proactive step toward maintaining your oral health. A healthy smile starts with regular care!
