Why Hamilton City Dental for Teeth Cleaning in Hamilton
Have you ever wondered why you go to the dentist to get your teeth cleaned? After all, you brush and floss your teeth at home. Why should you get someone else to clean your teeth, too? Professional dental cleanings at Hamilton City Dental in Downtown Hamilton, are essential to your overall oral health. In addition to proper home care, a professional cleaning gets your teeth thoroughly cleaned and works effectively to prevent cavities and gum disease.
Reasons Why You Should Get Professional Teeth Cleanings
The benefits of getting a professional dental cleaning include:
Plaque and tartar can accumulate on your teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas with your toothbrush and floss. The longer they are allowed to accumulate, the more problems they can create. A professional dental cleaning removes excess plaque and tartar, so your teeth and gums stay healthy.
At Hamilton City Dental, we want you to have a smile you are proud to show off! A professional cleaning brightens your teeth, removing some of the built-up stains that leave your teeth looking dull and discolored.
Regular teeth cleanings keep your teeth healthier, preventing cavities and gum disease. Preventive dental care is less expensive than restorative dental care. Stop cavities before they start, so you don't have to make another trip to the dentist for a filling.
How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Professionally Cleaned?
We recommend that most people come in for a dental cleaning every six months. If there is disease already present, or if the patient cannot keep food deposits off their teeth, we may ask them to come in more often. We may schedule a dental cleaning once a year instead of twice a year in very few cases. It depends on the patient, how well you can keep your mouth clean, and your metabolism rate.
The Dental Cleaning Process at Hamilton City Dental
We understand that not everyone enjoys coming to the dentist. That’s why we do everything we can to make the experience comfortable. You can expect the following process at your next professional teeth cleaning:
- The hygienists remove plaque and tartar from your teeth: Our dental hygienists are well-trained and very gentle. They use special scaling tools to remove the built-up plaque and tartar.
- The hygienist polishes your teeth: A polishing tool will buff your teeth with toothpaste, giving your teeth a beautiful shine.
- The hygienist flosses your teeth: This critical step ensures the spaces between your teeth are clean, even in those hard-to-reach places. The hygienist will also rinse your mouth out with water to wash away any particles.
