Cleanings
Do you want to keep your pearly whites looking their best? Routine dental cleanings are needed to help you preserve your beautiful smile. The Canadian Dental Association (CDA) recommends you have a cleaning every six months, but some patients may require more frequent appointments. We can help you develop a treatment plan that fits your oral health needs.
Why are routine cleanings necessary?
Bacteria in your mouth are constantly releasing acids that attack your enamel. As the bacteria builds up, it forms plaque – which can lead to gum disease. Research indicates that plaque and inflamed gums are linked to problems such as heart attacks, diabetes, and dementia.
Good oral hygiene is important for your overall health. It starts with proper brushing in the morning and before bed, as well as daily flossing combined with the CDA’s recommendation of two professional cleanings each year. These cleanings eliminate the layer of plaque from your teeth. At Stevenson Dental Care, we evaluate your gums, and provide a thorough cleaning with polish and floss.
For patients with gum disease, we provide more intense cleanings to give your gums the chance to heal. Adding an extra cleaning per year will also help you get back to good health.
