Dental Cleanings
A Fresh Smile Starts Here
Daily brushing and flossing are essential for good oral hygiene, but even the best routines can miss certain areas. That's why regular professional dental cleanings are crucial to maintaining a healthy smile. At Richmond Centre Dental Clinic, our dental cleanings go beyond the surface, removing plaque and tartar buildup, polishing your teeth, and offering personalized tips to enhance your home-care routine.
Plaque is a sticky, invisible film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth after eating or drinking. If not properly removed, plaque can produce acids that erode your enamel and cause cavities. Our professional cleanings help protect your teeth, brighten your smile, and contribute to overall better oral health.
Why Dental Cleaning Matters
Regular dental cleanings are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health complications. During each visit, we thoroughly remove plaque and hardened tartar, helping to preserve your teeth and gums. Cleanings are often paired with dental exams, which allow us to catch early signs of problems, often before you notice any symptoms.
Our exams include a careful check of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues for signs of decay, periodontal disease, and even oral cancer screening. In some cases, digital x-rays are recommended to detect hidden issues such as bone loss, infections, or impacted teeth that are not visible to the naked eye. Routine cleanings not only keep your smile healthy and attractive but also reduce the need for more extensive and costly treatments later on.
Scheduling regular dental cleanings and exams is vital for maintaining a healthy, confident smile. To book your next appointment, call Richmond Centre Dental Clinic at (604) 276-2442 today!
