Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?

Vero Dental Spa team

Keeping with regular teeth cleanings helps with:

 

  • Plaque and Tartar Removal: Even with diligent brushing, plaque can harden into tartar, which only professional tools can remove.
  • Prevention of Oral Diseases: Cleanings reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.
  • Early Detection: Dentists can spot signs of problems like cavities, gum disease, or even oral cancer during cleanings.
  • Aesthetic Benefits: Cleanings remove stains, leaving your teeth brighter and your smile more confident.

Benefits of Dental Cleanings

  • Prevents Cavities and Tooth Decay

    Cavities form when plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—builds up on teeth and produces acids that erode enamel. Routine dental cleanings remove plaque before it causes damage, significantly reducing the risk of cavities. During a cleaning, your hygienist will also polish your teeth, smoothing surfaces to make it harder for plaque to accumulate.

  • Stops Gum Disease in Its Tracks

    Gum disease, starting as gingivitis and potentially progressing to periodontitis, is a leading cause of tooth loss. Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar from along and below the gumline, areas where bacteria thrive. Regular teeth cleanings can reverse early periodontal disease and prevent its progression, keeping your gums healthy and strong.

  • Enhances Your Smile’s Appearance

    Stained teeth from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking can dull your smile. Dental cleanings include polishing that removes surface stains, leaving your teeth noticeably brighter. While teeth cleanings aren’t a substitute for professional teeth whitening, they provide a natural shine that boosts confidence.

  • Saves You Money in the Long Run

    Preventive dental care is far more cost-effective than treating dental problems after they develop. For example, a routine cleaning costs significantly less than fillings, root canals, or gum disease treatments. By catching issues early, dental cleanings help you avoid expensive procedures and maintain your oral health budget.

  • Promotes Overall Health

    Your mouth is a gateway to your body, and poor oral health is linked to systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Bacteria from gum disease can enter the bloodstream, contributing to inflammation and other health issues. Regular cleanings reduce this risk, supporting both oral and overall wellness.

  • Freshens Your Breath

    Persistent bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by bacterial buildup, gum disease, or trapped food particles. Dental cleanings eliminate these culprits, leaving your mouth fresh and clean. Your dental hygienist can also identify underlying causes of bad breath and recommend solutions.

  • Early Detection of Dental Issues

    During a cleaning, our Vero Beach general dentist examines your mouth for signs of trouble, such as cavities, cracked teeth, or abnormal growths. Early detection allows for timely treatment, preventing minor issues from becoming major problems. Some dentists also screen for oral cancer, a potentially life-saving service.

    Maintain healthy teeth to avoid oral health problems! Schedule your professional teeth cleaning in Vero Beach by calling our dentist near you at (772) 778-5550.

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning

A typical dental cleaning takes 30 to 60 minutes and includes the following steps:
dentist and patient
  1. Dental Examination: Our dentist or hygienist checks for signs of cavities, periodontal disease, or other issues.
  2. Scaling: Specialized tools remove plaque and tartar from teeth and below the gumline.
  3. Polishing: A gritty paste and a rotating tool polish your teeth, removing stains and smoothing surfaces.
  4. Flossing: Professional flossing ensures no debris remains between teeth.
  5. Fluoride Treatment (Optional): A fluoride rinse or gel strengthens enamel and prevents cavities.
  6. Education: Our dental team provides tips for maintaining good oral health, at-home care, and answers your questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the most important part of dental cleaning?

    One of the most important aspects of regular dental cleaning is the removal of plaque and tartar. During your professional dental cleaning, your dentist removes built-up plaque and tartar, avoiding the possibility of tooth decay or periodontal disease from developing.

  • Why do I feel better after I get my teeth cleaned?

    You most likely feel better after a dental cleaning as it eases stress on the immune system by eliminating potential threats. Your dentist effectively gets rid of plaque buildup and other residues that lurk between the teeth, eliminating bad bacteria from your body.
