Starting Fresh: Professional Cleaning for the New Year
Professional Cleaning for the New Year At Maricopa Dental Center
As we embrace the fresh start of a new year, many create resolutions focused on health and self-improvement. While gym memberships and diet plans often top the list, one crucial aspect of health deserves special attention: dental care.
Why Professional Cleaning Matters
Professional dental cleaning goes far beyond what we can achieve with regular brushing and flossing at home. Think of it as a reset button for oral health —moving built-up plaque, tartar, and stains accumulating over time.
Benefits of Professional Cleaning
- Prevents cavities and gum disease
- Removes stubborn stains for a brighter smile
- Freshens breath
- Early detection of potential dental issues
- Maintains overall oral health
What to Expect During Your Cleaning
Many patients feel anxious about dental visits, but understanding the process can help ease these concerns. Here's what happens during a typical professional cleaning:
Step-by-Step Process
- Oral examination to check overall dental health
- Removal of plaque and tartar using specialized tools
- Professional flossing to clean between teeth
- Polishing to remove surface stains
- Fluoride treatment (if needed)
Making Professional Cleaning Part of Your Routine
For most patients, regular professional cleanings are recommended every six months. This schedule helps maintain optimal oral health and prevents more serious dental issues from developing.
Tips for Maintaining Your Clean Smile
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss at least once a day
- Use an antiseptic mouthwash
- Stay hydrated
- Maintain a healthy diet
