Professional Teeth Cleaning
During your teeth cleaning, your hygienist will polish your teeth to remove plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, and tartar, the hardened plaque. Plaque and tartar can contribute to tooth decay and/or gum disease. Your hygienist will also provide an overview of proper flossing and brushing techniques.
Patients play an important role in preventive dentistry efforts as well. Self-care, such as twice-daily brushing and daily flossing, is essential in ensuring that your teeth and mouth stay healthy. A good oral hygiene routine keeps your teeth clean between preventive dental appointments.
Preventive dentistry can result in less extensive—and less expensive—treatment for dental conditions that may develop. Plus, it helps you keep your natural teeth for a lifetime.
Dental Sealants
A sealant is a thin, resin coating applied to the chewing surface of molars, premolars and any deep grooves (called pits and fissures) of teeth. More than 75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves. Teeth with these conditions are hard to clean and very susceptible to decay. A sealant protects the tooth by sealing deep grooves, creating a smooth, easy to clean surface.
Sealants can protect teeth from decay for many years, but a dentist will need to check them for wear and chipping at regular dental visits.
