We know that maintaining the health of your teeth and gums for a lifetime of dental wellness is important to you! Donsdale Dental is pleased to offer professional Dental Hygiene & Teeth Cleanings to help you achieve your goal for optimum dental health.
Donsdale Dental strongly believes in preventative dentistry and the important role it plays in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. It is far easier to take care of your oral health on a regular basis, than it is to treat any complications after they already arise! If you are brushing and flossing your teeth every day at home, you are already doing a great job of keeping your teeth healthy. However, even with good oral home hygiene care, it is still possible to develop oral problems like cavities and gum disease. This is because home care focuses only on areas of the tooth above the gum line. A professional teeth cleaning is able to clean the teeth not only above the gum line, but also below the gum line as well, where your toothbrush and floss cannot reach. It is only through cleaning above AND below the gum line that we can keep your teeth and gums healthy from top to bottom! To help prevent problems and to maintain your healthy smile, regular professional dental visits are key. At Donsdale Dental, we offer routine cleanings and thorough dental exams to ensure that your teeth and gums stay in the best possible condition.
Your regular cleaning and checkup appointment will include the following things:
During your appointment, we always encourage you to ask us questions about your oral health — our dedicated team is always here to answer your questions.
The frequency of your Teeth Cleanings and Check-ups will depend on several factors. Teeth that are susceptible to the accumulation of plaque and calculus, crowded teeth, or people with gum disease, will require more frequent visits and this may not match the frequency for other members of your family. We evaluate each patient on an individual basis to determine the dental hygiene schedule that will meet your specific needs the best. The majority of patients who visit Donsdale Dental for their dental hygiene appointments come every six months, but some people may benefit from coming in every 3-4 months, and others may only require their dental hygiene visits every 9- 12 months. Your Donsdale Dentist will discuss with you a dental hygiene schedule that makes the most sense for you and your specific needs.
