Where Can I Get a Dental Cleaning and Gum Disease Treatment?

We urge all of our patients to get a dental teeth cleaning before having their exam. During the cleaning, our dental hygienist will remove any plaque and tartar (hardened plaque). Tartar typically builds up at the gumline, where it can irritate your gums. Your hygienist will also professionally floss your teeth and polish them with a special toothpaste.

The reason we encourage dental cleanings is to help prevent cavities and gum disease. No matter how well you take care of your teeth at home, it’s difficult to clean every spot. If plaque and tartar irritate your gums, you could develop gingivitis, the mildest form of gum disease, characterized by swollen gums. Gingivitis is curable with a dental cleaning and better oral hygiene habits. If it is not treated, it can turn into periodontal disease, which requires more aggressive periodontal treatment. This is typically a deep dental cleaning to clean out the pockets that form when the gums separate from the teeth. In advanced cases of periodontal disease, surgery may be necessary.

Do Dentists Have Bad Breath Remedies?

Everyone gets bad breaths sometimes from eating smelly foods like onions. However, some suffer from chronic bad breath, regardless of what they eat. If you have constant bad breath and are tired of temporary fixes like mouthwash, please come see our dentist. Chronic bad breath, also called halitosis, can cause awkward social and professional situations. If you're wondering if you have bad breath, lick your clean wrist. Once the saliva is dry, about 10 seconds, smell it. Bad breath will be evident if you have it.

A basic dental cleaning by a dental hygienist can do wonders for bad breath. The hygienist can also show you how to keep your mouth clean. One tip they may give you is to brush your tongue. Your dentist will also check for any dental problems, like decay, that could cause unpleasant odors.

Why Should I Have an Oral Cancer Screening?

Oral cancer screenings are preventative measures, like when your dentist looks for cavities. An untreated cavity can mean you lose a tooth, but untreated oral cancer in your mouth can cost you your life. Early detection of oral cancer makes it far more likely you can be cured and the treatment will be far easier on you. At our office, we routinely screen patients during their checkups. The screening only takes about five minutes. It is also noninvasive and painless. Even if you don’t have the common risk factors, like tobacco use, you can still develop oral cancer.
