Professional teeth cleanings are a must! They help to keep your teeth healthy and white. Try as hard as you will, you cannot keep your teeth clean by brushing and flossing alone. Over a period of time, stains and calculus build up on your teeth. These can be removed only through professional teeth cleanings by a dental hygienist using special instruments. Having your teeth professionally cleaned is important both for your health and for your appearance. The removal of stain and deposits helps ensure that your gums and the bones supporting your teeth remain healthy and makes your smile more attractive. Recent studies show that most people over the age of 40 have some form of gum disease. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease and can help manage already existing gum disease. We recommend having your teeth professionally cleaned at least every 6 months. People with gum disease usually need to be seem more often. Gum disease is usually not painful so people not even aware that it exists.

Warning Sings of Gum Disease:

• Gums that bleed during tooth brushing or flossing

• Gums that have pulled away from your teeth

• Persistent bad breath (very common)

• Loose or separating teeth

Sealants/Preventative Resin Sealant


Sealants are the best way to prevent decay. A sealant is a tooth colored resin material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This resin bonds into the pits and grooves of these surfaces acting as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last a lifetime. The application of sealants on you or your children's teeth will also help you save money on dental services.


Fillings


Composite resin fillings or plastic dental fillings are an alternative to metal tooth fillings. Composite dental fillings look like a natural tooth and will not show any signs of a filling in the mouth when smiling or opening the mouth. These fillings are just as strong and durable as metal fillings and should last approximately 6-12 years.
