Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home anymore. Your teeth have been working hard all winter, and over time, plaque and surface stains can build up. A professional dental cleaning is a helpful way to support your oral health as you welcome the new season, complementing the care you provide at home each day.
At Dentist in Hervey Bay, Oral Health Therapist Dimitry Lyons works alongside our dentist to provide preventative care, professional cleanings, and advice on maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout the year.
What Does a Professional Dental Cleaning Involve?
A professional cleaning appointment may include several steps depending on your individual needs. Your dental practitioner or hygienist can:
- Carefully remove plaque and tartar that daily brushing and flossing may not fully clear.
- Provide a polish to smooth the tooth surface.
- Take digital X-rays if needed to check areas not visible during a clinical exam.
- Offer preventative options such as fluoride to help strengthen enamel.
The Benefits of Regular Professional Care
Regular professional dental care can help reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. It also allows for early detection of changes in your teeth and gums, which may make future treatment simpler. Some people notice their mouth feels cleaner after a professional cleaning, which may motivate them to maintain good oral hygiene at home.
Supporting Health Throughout the Year
Making time for a professional cleaning can support your ongoing oral health and provide an opportunity to discuss any concerns with your dental practitioner. Combined with daily brushing and flossing, these visits contribute to a strong foundation for healthy teeth and gums.
