Optimal Oral Hygiene

Routine dental cleanings and periodic exams are vital for achieving and maintaining optimal oral health and preventing disease and decay. Proper oral care at home alone is not adequate to support the health of your smile. Jeffery D. Flatt, DDS, suggests that you and your family schedule teeth cleaning every six months, as the American Dental Association recommends.

Your teeth cleaning appointment will include:

Professional cleaning by a licensed hygenist
Complete dental exam
Proper oral hygiene instruction
Digital X-rays
Consultation with our dentist

Root Planing and Scaling

Dental scaling and cleaning removes tartar that causes periodontal disease. The tartar forms on teeth when plaque formed from food and bacterial particles hardens. While some tartar adheres to visible tooth surfaces, other tartar can collect in tiny gaps between the gums and the tooth roots in periodontal pockets. As bacteria form the tartar, they cause the immune system to respond by creating inflammation. Unfortunately, this inflammation harms the gum tissue. The destruction broadens the periodontal pockets and weakens the ligaments that hold the teeth in place.
