When not treated, gum disease can lead to severe inflammation, gum recession, and tooth loss. Gum disease is a serious condition, but you can prevent it from developing if you properly maintain oral hygiene. Aside from regular tooth brushing and flossing, you must also see your dentist for routine <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blueskydental.ca\/services\/cosmetic-dentistry\/teeth-whitening\/\"><b>Teeth whitening in North Vancouver<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. During an in-office dental cleaning, your dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth, getting rid of any plaque and tartar buildup. Before this procedure, the dentist will examine your teeth for signs of problems and to determine the severity of any existing issue. This allows them to recommend appropriate treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting your teeth cleaned at your dentist\u2019s office comes with some benefits such as the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review your oral hygiene practices. During your routine dentist visits, your dentist or dental hygienist will give you advice on how to maintain your oral health at home. Also, they will tell you how to improve the way you clean your teeth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent or reduce gum disease. Your routine dental visit will include deep teeth cleaning to get rid of stubborn plaque and prevent the advancement of gum disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimize bad breath.\u00a0 An in-office dental cleaning will eliminate the bacteria and plaque that can cause bad breath. Thus, you will have a healthy fresh breath again after your appointment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent the formation of cavities. Cavities form after bacteria and plaque accumulate around your teeth. Routine dental cleanings manage the population of mouth bacteria, preventing the buildup of cavities.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brighten your teeth. Regular consumption of colored beverages such as coffee, red wine, and tea can cause teeth discoloration or stains. Professional teeth cleaning can eliminate stubborn teeth stains, giving you a brighter smile after every appointment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Happens During an In-Office Dental Cleaning?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a professional dental cleaning, your dentist or hygienist will scrape off the tartar and plaque that have developed below or above your gum line. Also, they will measure any pockets\u2019 depth between your gums and teeth. These pockets indicate the development of gum disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have significant tartar buildup, deep cleaning is necessary. This includes scaling or root planing to get rid of the tartar. After the cleaning, the dentist or hygienist will give information that helps you understand your oral health and the best practices you can adopt to keep both your teeth and gums healthy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gum disease results from the buildup of plaque and tartar around the teeth, which triggers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1118,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
