SE Calgary Dental Hygiene and Teeth Cleanings
Cleanings and check-ups with our registered dental hygienists.
Good oral health starts with healthy gums and teeth. Care at home matters, but a professional cleaning is more thorough than anything you can do at home. Regular hygiene and cleaning visits remove tartar, plaque and bacteria from the hard-to-reach areas that home care cannot reach. We offer professional dental hygiene and teeth cleaning appointments to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy over the long term.
What Happens at a Dental Hygiene and Teeth Cleaning Appointment?
A dental hygiene and teeth cleaning appointment starts with a review of your dental and medical history, so we can discuss any concerns or changes in your health. Our team then examines your teeth and gums for signs of cavities, gum disease and other oral problems.
After the examination, we clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Using specialized instruments, we carefully scale deposits from the surface of your teeth and along the gumline to help prevent gum disease and cavities. We then polish your teeth with a special gritty toothpaste to leave them smooth, and we can also provide a fluoride treatment for added protection.
Finally, we give you personalized advice on brushing and flossing so you can keep your mouth healthy between visits. Regular hygiene appointments help prevent oral health problems and keep your teeth clean, and our team is here to help at every visit.
How Often Should You Have a Dental Hygiene and Cleaning Appointment?
We set hygiene and check-up schedules to suit each patient. Most patients benefit from a visit every 6 months, some need one every 3-4 months, and others can extend to every 9-12 months. Home care, genetics, grinding habits, susceptibility to cavities and tooth position all affect the right schedule for you. People with gum disease, heavy staining, loose teeth, underlying health issues or significant calculus buildup may need cleanings more often. Our team will work with you to set a hygiene and cleaning schedule that suits your needs.
