Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. They go beyond simply keeping your teeth clean and white; they play a crucial role in preventing serious dental problems! Our professional cleanings can help you achieve a brighter smile, healthier gums, and a more confident appearance. During your dental cleaning in Raliegh, we’ll meticulously remove plaque, tartar, and any other harmful debris from your teeth and gums. We also examine your mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

Why Are Professional Cleanings So Important?

The top two reasons adults lose teeth are cavities and gum disease, which is why, on top of a good dental hygiene routine, regular professional cleaning appointments are so crucial. Even the best daily brushing and flossing won’t get every bit of plaque between teeth and along the gum lines, and that plaque eventually hardens into tartar. Professional cleaning gets rid of all that tartar and keeps your teeth and gums on track to stay healthy.

Benefits of Dental Cleanings

  • Help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath by removing harmful bacteria and plaque.
  • Detect early signs of oral health problems, such as cavities or oral cancer.
  • Eliminate the sources of odor that cause bad breath.
  • Boost your self-esteem and confidence with a fresh smile.

The Frequency of Your Cleanings

In general, patients should schedule basic cleaning appointments twice a year, but it’s important to talk to Dr. Preston about your individual dental health needs. Patients with risk factors for developing gum disease may need more frequent cleanings and diabetic patients often require as many as four cleanings per year to fight back against the attendant oral health difficulties.
