Attending general dental examinations and hygiene appointments is important for your dental health and your overall health.
With regular dental checkups we are able to catch dental issues early on before they before a larger issue and prevent any issues showing up at all by giving you information on how to care for your oral health at home.
Professional oral hygiene visits are the only way calculus and tartar can be removed from your teeth. By removing this buildup that occurs we are helping to decrease your risk for gum disease (periodontal disease). Plaque which is a soft, sticky bacteria is also removed during these dental hygiene appointments. When plaque is not removed from the teeth our risk for tooth decay and other oral diseases increases.
Dental plaque is a constantly forming bacteria and starts to form as soon as we stop brushing our teeth. Our goal is to be in charge of the composition of the bacteria in our mouth to ensure we have healthy oral microbes instead of oral bacteria that could be doing harm to our bodies and our oral health!
At our dental clinic in Melton we provide oral hygiene appointments including periodontal disease treatment, oral biofilm management and dental checkups and cleanings.
