Parkside Dental Care - How Often Should You Get Dental Cleanings Each Year?
Dental cleanings and checkups are essential for maintaining healthy teeth, gums, and mouth. They remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that cause decay, gum disease, and bad breath. Professional cleanings reach areas brushing and flossing can’t, while exams help catch problems early, saving you from costly treatments.
Routine cleanings also help brighten teeth, often reducing the need for whitening. Key benefits include:
- Prevent cavity growth: Fillings stop cavities from getting worse.
- Avoid infections: Prevent painful infections or abscesses.
- Restore tooth strength: Fillings help strengthen weakened teeth.
- Save money: They’re cost-effective in the long run.
- Reduce sensitivity: Fillings lower sensitivity to hot and cold.
- Preserve your smile: Keep your natural smile intact.
The Process of a Professional Teeth Cleaning
Gum Health Assessment
Healthy gums are crucial for supporting teeth and a bright smile. During your cleaning, we assess your gums, tongue, teeth, and other soft tissues, focusing on the gumline to spot early signs of inflammation or gum disease. We’ll always offer positive and supportive advice about flossing!
Plaque and Tartar Removal
Plaque can lead to cavities, and when left untreated, it hardens into tartar. Our hygienist uses specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from difficult-to-reach areas, especially around the gumline. Your teeth are then polished to reduce stains, leaving your smile smooth and refreshed.
Dental Examination
After the cleaning, your dentist will review your dental history, examine x-rays, and check for any concerns. You’ll receive recommendations for further treatments or preventive care. This is also a great time to discuss any sensitivity or discomfort to ensure your care is customized to your needs.
Teeth Cleaning Pricing in Newmarket
Regular checkups and cleanings are essential for oral health and are often covered by insurance every six months. For those without coverage, professional cleanings typically range from $120 to over $300, depending on factors like the time since your last visit and the amount of plaque and tartar buildup. Delayed cleanings may require more extensive care, which can increase the cost.
Factors influencing pricing include:
- Oral Health Condition: The state of your teeth and gums affects the level of care needed.
- Dental X-rays: New x-rays may be required for an accurate diagnosis.
- Time Required: Treatment complexity and personalized care affect costs.
- Tools and Materials: The equipment and materials used during the cleaning impact pricing.
Routine cleanings are essential for preventing more complex issues, reducing the risk of pain, and supporting overall health.
