Parkside Dental Care - How Often Should You Get Dental Cleanings Each Year?
The Importance of Regular Cleanings and Checkups – Dental cleanings and checkups are vital for keeping your teeth, gums, and mouth in good health. They remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that contribute to decay, gum disease, and bad breath. Professional cleanings reach areas that brushing and flossing can’t, while exams help detect and address problems early, preventing costly treatments.
Routine cleanings also brighten teeth naturally, often reducing the need for whitening treatments. Benefits include:
- Eliminating Plaque: Removes harmful bacteria that can damage enamel and cause cavities.
- Removing Tartar: Clears hardened deposits along teeth and gums that lead to gum issues.
- Clearing Away Stains: Reduces surface stains from food and drink, keeping your smile bright.
- Checking for Oral Health Issues: Identifies early signs of dental problems for timely care.
The Process of a Professional Teeth Cleaning
Gum Health Assessment
Healthy gums are essential for supporting teeth and maintaining a great smile. During your cleaning, we examine your tongue, teeth, gums, and other soft tissues, focusing on the gumline to identify any early signs of inflammation or gum disease. Rest assured, discussions about flossing will always be positive and supportive!
Plaque and Tartar Removal
Plaque, a sticky film that can cause cavities, hardens into tartar if not removed. Using specialised tools, our hygienist removes plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, especially near the gumline. Afterward, your teeth are polished to reduce stains and leave your smile smooth and refreshed.
Dental Examination
Following your cleaning, your dentist reviews your dental history, examines x-rays, and checks for any concerns. Recommendations may be made for further treatments or preventive care. This is also an opportunity to address sensitivity, discomfort, or any questions you may have to ensure your dental care is tailored to your needs.
Teeth Cleaning Pricing in Newmarket
Regular checkups and cleanings are essential for oral health and are often largely 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 affect the cost.
Factors influencing pricing include:
- Oral Health Condition: The state of your teeth and gums determines the level of care needed.
- Dental X-rays: New x-rays may be required for accurate diagnosis and planning.
- Time Required: Treatment complexity and the time spent on personalized care affect costs.
- Tools and Materials: The equipment and materials used during your cleaning also impact pricing.
Routine cleanings are a priority, helping prevent complex issues, reduce the risk of pain, and support overall health.
