Airflow teeth cleaning, also known as air polishing, offers several benefits for oral health and hygiene. Unlike traditional scaling and polishing methods, which use manual instruments, airflow cleaning utilizes a combination of water, air, and fine powder to remove plaque, stains, and biofilm from the teeth and gums. This innovative technique is highly effective in reaching areas that may be difficult to clean with traditional methods, such as between teeth and along the gumline.
Airflow cleaning is gentle yet thorough, making it suitable for patients with sensitive teeth or gums. Additionally, the process is quick and comfortable, reducing chair time and minimizing discomfort during the procedure. The result is a noticeably brighter, fresher smile and improved overall oral health. With airflow teeth cleaning, patients can enjoy a more comfortable and effective dental cleaning experience, promoting a healthier mouth and a confident smile.
At home, prevention may include brushing and flossing twice a day. But many strategies and oral health aids exist that may fit your situation even better. Often patients are surprised to learn that a particular toothpaste, rinse, or specialized toothpick will serve them best and make all the difference in their efforts. Our team can help customize solutions that enhance your daily efforts, often turning frustration into smiles at the healthy changes that occur.
Your diet plays a critical role in oral health, as well. Acidic foods and drinks can accelerate the deterioration of your teeth, and certain foods can enhance the health of your supporting jawbone and gums. Our team believes in bringing your efforts and ours into balance for optimum health.
And of course, regular dental exams and cleanings prove vital in preventing decay and gum disease as you keep daily habits consistent. With a proactive approach, together, we can prevent minor issues from becoming major procedures.
A focus on preventive dentistry helps you maintain the highest standard of oral health while limiting dental expenditures. A partnership between you and our team pays dividends, protecting your smile now and well into the future.
Every time you’re in our chair, we review many aspects of your health. Subtle changes in the lining of your mouth call for a closer evaluation, regardless of whether you use tobacco or not. Early detection of oral cancer saves many lives every year, and we are trained to recognize a myriad of oral tissue abnormalities.
Everyone loves the smooth, glassy surface of freshly polished teeth. Our registered dental hygienists help you maintain optimal health, which goes far beyond polished enamel. With a regular preventive schedule, we can remove the bacterial deposits that lead to dental disease. But we can also monitor for silent problems, such as tooth decay or gum disease, before they become major issues.
Gum disease continues to be the leading cause of tooth loss in adults today. A devastating condition when left untreated, periodontitis doesn’t have to write your story. But a strategic approach with focused treatment and home care is essential to control this chronic bacterial infection. Plus, this disease can aggravate other serious medical conditions that may seem unrelated to your mouth.
