We often hear its just a teeth cleaning I can push it off to later!!!! Well it certainly is not just a teeth cleaning, it is much more than that. Think about it, the mouth is the gateway to the rest of our body. The food we eat is chewed by our teeth and then it goes into our stomach. Bacteria from our mouth may go into the blood stream and cause complications to heart and other parts of the body, espcially those with poor oral health. Patients with chronic gum disease are at a higher risk of heart disease. If we are suffering from bleeding, swollen, tartar, stained filled teeth we need to focus on getting our mouth back to health because there is millions of bacteria in our mouth. Teeth cleaning focuses not only on cleaning from the surfaces of teeth but from in between as well as under the gums where more harmful bacteria resides. Special instruments are used to clean different parts of the teeth. A full assessment of gums is conducted to understand the oral health status and make a proper treatment plan. Sometimes we may need more than one cleaning appointment to achieve desired results. Preventative dental hygiene care is the best possible way to keep a healthy mouth and over all health.
