Importance of Keeping Up with Routine Dental Cleanings

Good dental hygiene is key to keeping your smile healthy and bright. Even if you faithfully brush and floss at home, you still need professional cleaning. Routine dental cleaning gets rid of plaque that brushing and flossing miss. It also removes food and drink stains that leave your teeth looking dull and dingy. If you live in Tucson, Arizona, or the surrounding areas, you can visit Swan Dental for routine dental cleanings.

What to Expect from Dental Cleanings 

Your teeth are in constant use over the years. Taking good care of them can keep your smile in good shape. Dental checkups and cleanings are a vital part of your dental care. 

Bi-annual checkups allow Dr. Colby Echols to detect problems early before they cause major damage to your gums and teeth. This helps you avoid lengthy, costly treatments later. We’ll also take x-rays of your teeth to check for hidden dental issues beneath the gum line.  

Through professional cleaning, our team can rid your mouth of all plaque and tartar buildup, especially in crevices your toothbrush can’t reach. Plaque and tartar are significant causes of cavities and gum disease. Our dental hygienist uses special dental tools to get your teeth and gums sparkling clean. At the same time, we can remove surface stains caused by foods and drinks. Lastly, we’ll polish your teeth to give them a smooth, shiny appearance.  

Benefits of Professional Dental Care

You can’t beat routine dental cleanings for the long-term health of your gums and teeth. Bi-annual dental cleanings help keep your pearly whites healthy and strong year after year. Through regular dental cleaning, we can: 

• Detect problems early for immediate treatment 
• Help prevent common issues like cavities and gum disease
• Eliminate plaque, tartar, and tooth stains that dull your smile
• Keep your breath fresh and clean
