Dental Cleanings

Maintaining a clean and healthy mouth is essential for overall well-being, and professional dental cleanings are a key component of any oral health regimen. At Dr. Ryan Trevino’s dental practice, we offer comprehensive dental cleaning services designed to prevent dental issues and maintain your smile’s health and brightness.

The Importance of Professional Dental Cleanings

Even with diligent at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth, leading to potential gum disease and tooth decay. Professional dental cleanings provide a deeper clean than brushing and flossing alone, removing plaque and tartar buildup and minimizing the risk of oral health problems. Regular cleanings also offer an opportunity for our dental team to identify and address any issues early on before they become more serious.

What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning

Our dental cleanings are performed in a comfortable and relaxing environment. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

Assessment

Our dental hygienist will start by examining your teeth and gums for any signs of gum disease or other concerns.

Scaling

Using specialized tools, we remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline.

Polishing

After scaling, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and looking bright.

Flossing

We'll thoroughly floss between your teeth to remove any remaining plaque or debris.

Fluoride (or Non-Fluoride) Treatment:

If necessary, a fluoride treatment may be applied to help strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities. At our practice, we also offer non-fluoride treatments based on your individual preferences.

The Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings

Regular dental cleanings are recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA) and offer a wide range of benefits:

Prevents Gum Disease

Regular cleanings help to prevent the buildup of plaque, which is the primary cause of gum disease.

Detects Dental Issues Early

Routine visits allow our team to detect early signs of issues such as cavities, broken fillings, and gum disease.

Maintains Overall Health

Good oral health is linked to overall health. Regular dental cleanings can reduce your risk of certain diseases, like heart disease and stroke.

Keeps Your Smile Bright

Removing stains from coffee, tea, tobacco, and other substances keeps your smile bright and beautiful.
