Have you had your teeth cleaned this year?
Professional dental cleanings are not just for keeping your smile bright as they can have a significant impact on your general health. Insufficient oral hygiene has been linked to several serious illnesses, medical and dental issues including bone loss, cardiovascular disease, strokes, cancers, and many other problems.
Brushing and flossing at home are essential, but to ensure teeth are healthy and thoroughly clean, you should include annual dental cleanings with Clínica Dental Champsaur. Here are some reasons professional teeth cleaning is important:
• Most stains will be removed which will result in brighter, whiter smile
• Teeth cleaning can prevent gum disease and early tooth loss
• Teeth cleaning can prevent oral cancer which may be curable if detected at an early stage. A thorough examination of the tongue, throat, face, neck, and head is an important part of a dental cleaning visit
• Teeth cleaning can also reduce your chances of potentially deadly heart attacks and strokes
• Our dentists can detect early signs of problems such as cavities or gingivitis, broken fillings, and fractures
• Dental cleanings help prevent and resolve persistent bad breath

What happens during dental cleaning visits?
As a rule, there are two parts to a dental cleaning visit: the oral examination and the cleaning. During the exam, Clínica Dental Champsaur will check your teeth for cavities. In some cases, x-rays might be taken to find cavities located between the teeth. The dentist will also look for issues like gum disease or plaque and tartar on the teeth.
The Examination
Plaque on the teeth is nothing more than a clear, sticky layer of bacterial colonies. If this sticky substance is not removed, it will become hard and turn into tartar. Tartar does not respond to brushing or flossing. Only a dentist can remove tartar from the teeth and once this substance builds up on the teeth, the patient becomes susceptible to a variety of oral diseases.
The Dental Cleaning
Brushing and flossing the teeth at home is essential for good dental hygiene, but once tartar develops on the teeth, it’s impossible to remove it at home. So, during a routine dental cleaning, the dentist will remove the tartar and plaque by “scaling” the teeth using a special metal tool.
After the tartar and plaque have been removed, our dentist or an assistant may polish the teeth using a gritty paste and a polishing tool that helps remove surface stains and make your smile sparkle. After the surface of the teeth have been polished, the dental professional will floss the teeth to make sure all areas between the teeth are clean.
Between Dental Cleanings
We encourage our patients at Clínica Dental Champsaur.to keep their teeth clean between dental visits. Brushing and flossing are vital for healthy teeth. We recommend that patients brush at least two times per day with a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Set aside time to floss at least once each day and use a mouthwash to control the growth of bacteria that cause plaque. Mouthwash will also freshen your breath!
