At Mooring Dental, we know that maintaining a clean and healthy smile is essential not only for your oral health but also for your overall well-being. Professional dental cleanings are a vital part of any oral care routine, ensuring that your teeth and gums stay in great shape for years to come. Dr. Sean Mooring and our experienced team of licensed hygienists in Clayton provide thorough, comfortable cleanings that help keep your smile healthy, bright, and beautiful.
Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits at home, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Over time, this buildup can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental issues. Professional cleanings go beyond what you can do at home, effectively removing harmful plaque and tartar, minimizing the risk of dental problems, and ensuring your smile stays in top condition.
At Mooring Dental, we prioritize your comfort during every visit. Our cleanings are performed in a relaxing, stress-free environment. Here’s what you can expect during your dental cleaning:
A dental hygienist will begin by examining your teeth and gums to check for any signs of gum disease, cavities, or other concerns.
Using specialized instruments, we’ll remove plaque and tartar buildup from both above and below the gumline to ensure a deep clean.
After scaling, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains, leaving them smooth and bright.
We’ll floss between each tooth to remove any remaining debris and plaque.
Based on the condition of your teeth and risk factors, we may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your teeth and help prevent cavities.
Regular cleanings are essential to maintaining both your oral health and overall wellness. Here are some of the key benefits of visiting Mooring Dental for routine cleanings:
Brightens Your Smile: Professional polishing removes surface stains from foods, drinks, and tobacco, helping to keep your smile looking its best.
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends scheduling dental cleanings at least twice a year to maintain optimal oral health. However, Dr. Mooring may recommend a different cleaning frequency based on your specific dental needs. Patients with gum disease or other conditions may benefit from more frequent cleanings to prevent further complications.
Don’t wait for dental problems to arise before scheduling a cleaning. Regular dental cleanings are an important part of preventive care that can help you avoid more extensive (and costly) treatments down the road. At Mooring Dental, we’re here to keep your teeth and gums healthy, strong, and beautiful.
