Professional Teeth Cleaning in Winter Garden, FL

purpose of cleanings

There are so many reasons that it is a good idea to get your teeth cleaned, but we will go ahead and list just a few of them. Your dental hygienist can remove most of the stains that dull and discolor your teeth, so you’ll be left with a brighter, whiter smile.

• Having your teeth cleaned can prevent gum disease, which leads to early tooth loss.

• In America alone, one person dies from oral cancer every hour. Still, many of these cancers are curable if detected early during a routine cleaning, and we do an oral cancer check at every hygiene visit. 

• More and more research is showing a strong link between cardiovascular disease and gum disease. Because getting your teeth cleaned twice a year helps prevent gum disease, it can also reduce your chances of potentially deadly heart attacks and strokes.

• During a professional dental cleaning, it’s easy for us to detect early signs of problems such as broken fillings and fractures and recommend treatments early while they are still easy to fix.

• Many dental plans cover cleanings, and you’ll save money on dental expenses by keeping your teeth in good shape. 

• While most of the bacteria that cause bad breath live on your tongue, they also live in the buildup that you get on your teeth that only your dental hygienist can remove.
