Are You Prone to Cavities? Don’t Neglect Routine Dental Cleanings

Importance of Bi-Annual Dental Cleanings

Although brushing and flossing are essential to keeping your teeth healthy and clean, these habits alone cannot eliminate plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities and gum disease. That’s why it’s important to include routine dental cleanings in your oral hygiene routine. Professional cleanings eliminate all plaque, tartar, bacteria, and surface stains on your teeth to leave them shiny and smooth. Dr. Bingham-Lester uses special dental tools for plaque removal to get your teeth squeaky clean. Afterward, we’ll polish your teeth to bring out their luster.

At the same time, we’ll check your teeth for early warning signs of gingivitis, oral cancer, or other dental issues that can derail your oral health. Forgoing dental cleanings puts you at greater risk of:

  • Cavities
  • Tooth infections
  • Gingivitis
  • Chronic bad breath
  • Loose teeth and, over time,
  • Tooth loss

Dental cleaning services promote healthier, stronger teeth that look vibrant, fresh, and clean.

Additional Dental Services to Prevent Cavities

In addition to routine dental cleanings, Dr. Bingham-Lester and our team offer additional dental services in the form of fluoride treatment and dental sealants to protect your teeth from cavities. Fluoride treatments are available in foam, gel, varnish, or concentrated rinse forms and can be applied with a brush, swab, tray, or via a mouthwash. Dental sealants come in liquid form and are painted onto the surface of your back teeth, which are used primarily for chewing. Once the liquid hardens, it forms a protective plastic shield over your molars to protect them from cavities.
