PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CLEANING IN BURLINGTON

FRIENDLY, RELAXED DENTAL CLEANING AT OUR BURLINGTON OFFICE

Plaque is common cause of periodontal disease and calculus is the hardened plaque that forms above and below the gum line causing pain, inflammation and bone loss. When left untreated, these conditions can lead to cavities and tooth loss.
Daily dental hygiene is imperative in controlling plaque and tartar formation. Unremoved plaque from your teeth can turn into tartar in only twenty four hours. That is why we recommend that you have regular preventative cleanings.

Dental Cleanings FAQs

Are teeth cleanings important?
Professional teeth cleanings are important because they can prevent cavities and other problems. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar. Plaque and tartar is often missed in daily brushing and flossing, even in a good oral hygiene routine.
How often should I schedule a teeth cleaning at Alton Dental?
Dental cleanings twice a year work for most people and that’s the standard recommendation. Some patients who have significant plaque and tartar issues may need cleanings more often.
What happens during a teeth cleaning appointment?
A dental hygienist will look at your teeth and determine how to approach cleaning them. They take small scaping tools to remove plaque and tartar and then polish your teeth to remove surface stains. They finish up by flossing them.
Do teeth cleanings hurt?
Teeth cleanings don’t need to be painful but it depends on how experienced your hygienist is at the job. At Alton Dental, our hygienists are highly experienced so you get a comfortable experience.
Can teeth cleaning improve my breath?
Yes, regular teeth cleaning can improve your breath! Professional cleanings help eliminate the root cause of bad breath which is bacteria. It leaves your teeth feeling smooth and feeling fresher.
Are teeth cleanings covered by dental insurance in Canada?
Many dental insurance plans cover routine cleanings under preventive care. We also participate in government programs that help many families. The staff at Alton Dental can review your coverage.
What happens if I skip regular teeth cleanings?
Delaying cleanings can lead to serious dental issues like gum disease and tooth decay. It could lead to tooth loss.
Can children get teeth cleanings at Alton Dental?
We see children for cleanings all the time. We believe teeth cleanings are important for children to maintain healthy smiles and get them started early in good dental habits.
