Stamford Teeth Cleaning

Good oral hygiene is important; it not only keeps your teeth looking clean and shiny, but contributes to your overall general health and well being. Improper care can lead to a variety of dental and medical problems such as gum disease, infection, bone loss, heart disease, strokes, diabetes and more. We recommend having a dental professional clean your teeth and examine your mouth at least twice a year. This routine will help prevent any complications associated with poor dental health. Prophylaxis, otherwise known as a dental cleaning is the removal of plaque and tartar in order to prevent cavities, gingivitis and gum disease. Plaque builds daily mouth, if left for long periods of time it can cause cavities and once it travels below the gum line it can cause gum disease (gingivitis). The average visit is 30-45 minutes, during this visit our highly trained hygienists will clean and polish your teeth thoroughly until they are smooth, this helps prevent new plaque from forming. Any necessary x-rays will be taken at this time. Our office is fully digital because less radiation is what’s best for our patient, these help detect problems in the soft tissue and bone. All of our hygiene rooms are equipped with DIAGNOdent, this technology allows them to find small cavities on the chewing services that are difficult to detect by the human eye. Catching decay early will benefit the patient for not only health reasons, but saves them from more costly restorations in the future. The dentist will check the overall health of your teeth and gums as well as screen you for oral cancer. During your screening the doctor will feel for any lumps and irregular looking tissue changes in your head, neck, cheeks and oral cavity. We also examine the soft tissues of your mouth looking for sores or discolored areas. Early detection has a better chance for successful treatment. The doctor will also review your X-rays to ensure optimal cavity detection. Your visit is not only to clean your teeth and maintain oral health, it is also to educate.
