No one has a more important role in keeping your teeth clean than you. An effective home oral hygiene routine is key to keeping your teeth and gums healthy and in preventing future difficulties with your oral health. Everyone needs a little bit of professional help, however, when it comes to keeping oral health pristine. Over time, “tartar” builds up on your teeth that your toothbrush isn’t able to remove. That’s where your regular cleaning appointments comes in. Our dedicated hygienists are here to supplement your home care with a thorough cleaning. Here’s how it works:

At your appointment, our hygienists will carefully examine your level of oral hygiene, both around your teeth and your gums. They will recommend ways, tailored to your specific needs, to improve your oral hygiene and point out the areas you may be struggling to keep clean. They will then give your teeth a thorough cleaning in all areas to remove any build-up, followed by a thorough polish that leaves your teeth looking shiny and smooth. They will also provide a fluoride treatment that helps to strengthen your teeth and make them more resistant to decay.

It’s important to keep up with your cleaning appointments to prevent all sorts of complications in the future. Our dentists and hygienists will advise you on your specific cleaning needs.
