Examinations & Cleanings
Professional Dental Cleaning For a Healthy Smile
Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Even with daily tooth brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up over time, leading to cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Our Dental Hygienist is specially trained to help remove the plaque and tartar on the teeth to help ensure healthy teeth and gums.
Health and Hygiene helps to:
• Prevent cavities and tooth decay
• Reduces the risk of gum disease
• Removes stains on the teeth for a brighter smile
• Helps prevent bad breath, which occurs when the gums are infected
• Helps to detect the dental problems so they can be treated early
Why Regular Dental Cleanings & Exams Matter
More Than Just a Bright Smile
Routine dental cleanings and exams aren’t just about keeping your teeth white—they play a critical role in protecting your overall health.
Prevent Gum Disease Before It Gets Serious
Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis—early-stage gum disease. Without treatment, this can turn into periodontitis, which causes gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
Protect Your Heart Health
Research has shown a strong connection between gum disease and serious conditions like heart attacks, stroke, & clogged arteries. Bacteria from your mouth can enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation throughout the body, increasing your risk of cardiovascular disease.
Early Detection Saves Time, Money, and Health
Regular exams allow your dentist to catch small issues—like cavities, enamel wear, or oral cancer—before they become bigger, more costly problems.
Whole-Body Wellness Starts With Your Mouth
Your oral health is linked to other major health conditions: diabetes (gum disease makes blood sugar harder to control), pregnancy complications (poor oral health can increase the risk of premature birth and low birth weight), and a weakened immune system (chronic oral infections tax your body's defences).
Our Dental Hygienist gently removes the tartar buildup from your teeth and below the gum line.
A check for early signs of decay, cavities, gum disease, and other dental concerns.
Most patients benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. If gum disease is present, then patients will require more frequent appointments to eliminate the gum disease.
