A Clear Choice For Straightening Teeth with Invisalign for Teens and Adults

Professional teeth cleaning is a must for everyone in your family – even if you follow a good oral hygiene routine. Brushing and flossing your teeth at home simply isn’t enough to thoroughly rid your mouth of plaque and harmful bacteria, especially on back teeth that are difficult to reach. Your Vista, California, Dreamtime Dentistry team uses special tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup, leaving your mouth sparkling clean. At Dreamtime Dentistry, we recommend bi-annual teeth cleaning for fewer cavities and healthier teeth.

Routine Teeth Cleaning Prevents Cavities

If you have your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice annually, you’re less likely to get cavities. Plaque and tartar buildup are the primary causes of decay and gum disease. During a dental cleaning, your hygienist will remove all plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially in the nooks and crannies you can’t reach. We’ll also clean your teeth of surface stains caused by foods and drinks. 

Before cleaning your teeth, one of our three doctors will inspect your mouth, gums, and teeth for signs of decay or early gum disease. Detecting and treating problems early can keep them from spreading and becoming major issues later. Once a year, we’ll take x-rays of your teeth to check your bone health beneath the gum line for signs of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease treatment entails deep gum cleaning (Scaling and root planing) to rid your mouth of bacterial infection above and below the gum line that can lead to tooth loss. Afterward, we’ll smooth the root surfaces of your teeth to keep bacteria from accumulating there again. 

Benefits of Bi-Annual Dental Cleanings

  • Prevent decay, gum infections, and other dental issues
