How Often Should You Schedule Dental Cleanings?
Most dental professionals recommend dental exams and cleanings twice yearly for individuals with healthy teeth and gums. However, if you have signs of periodontal disease or are at a higher risk of tooth decay or other dental health problems, we may recommend more frequent dental visits. Regular preventive care is the cornerstone of long-term oral health.
Dental Cleanings and Preventive Services Offered by Parker Prosthodontics
The following are some of the preventive services we offer right here at our Dallas practice:
Dental Exams: Regular dental exams include a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, and every aspect of your oral health to check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, a misaligned bite, damaged restorations, and other oral health concerns. We also conduct oral cancer screenings to look for any abnormalities, ensuring prompt treatment and the best possible outcomes for your smile.
Personalized Treatment Plan: After your exam, we will discuss our findings and work with you to create a treatment plan outlining any restorative dentistry options needed to repair damaged or missing teeth and restore your healthy smile. We will also outline any preventive measures needed to lower the risk of dental disease and recommend the type of dental cleaning you require to keep dental disease at bay.
Regular Dental Cleanings: If you have a healthy smile, we typically recommend twice-yearly dental cleanings. We use our ultrasonic scaler to gently blast away plaque and tartar that have built up on your teeth and gum line, lowering your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. We also floss and polish your teeth, leaving them clean and bright.
Fluoride Treatment: We offer fluoride treatments after cleaning your teeth, if needed, to strengthen your tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay. Fluoride also works to remineralize the teeth, which can often reverse early decay.
Deep Dental Cleanings: If we uncover signs of periodontal disease, we may recommend a deep dental cleaning known as scaling and root planing. Scaling involves removing plaque and tartar from along and below your gum line and between your teeth. Root planing, on the other hand, involves thoroughly cleaning your tooth root surfaces and smoothing out any rough areas. After treatment, we typically recommend periodontal maintenance visits every 3 to 4 months to monitor your gum health and intervene, as necessary, to keep your smile as healthy as possible. Regular dental visits coupled with good home oral hygiene practices can help halt the progression of gum disease.
