The benefits of teeth cleaning

Studies show patients who are consistent with a proper dental hygiene routine are more likely to have healthier bones and gums and keep their teeth considerably longer. Dentists recommend everyone brush their teeth at least twice daily and floss them at least once a day. However, in-home dental care is not sufficient enough to take care of your pearly whites. Even if you brush and floss daily, it is recommended to visit your dentist at least once every six months for a regular checkup and teeth cleaning. Getting your teeth cleaned and polished gives you a great smile, and it also prevents future decay and gum disease.

During your regular dentist visits to Stone Dental Group, SE Chicago Dentistry, our expert dentists examine your teeth thoroughly to diagnose and identify your dental conditions, if any. The early detection and treatment of dental issues will help you avoid costly and potentially serious dental problems in the future. Also, poor oral hygiene can have severe implications on your cardiovascular well-being and general health as well.

At Stone Dental Group, SE Chicago Dentistry, we take great pride in going above and beyond when it comes to our teeth cleaning appointments. Our dentists and hygienists spend extra time with our patients to ensure that our patients' teeth cleaning is thorough and comfortable. 

Benefits of teeth cleaning.

The benefits of teeth cleaning at Stone Dental Group, SE Chicago Dentistry include:

Plaque removal- The buildup of tartar and plaque, both above and below the gum line, can result in serious gum problems, including gingivitis. It is not easy to remove all the bacteria and debris from the gum pockets, even if you follow a good oral care routine at home that includes brushing and flossing. Our expert dentists or hygienist, using specialized dental equipment catches this potentially damaging buildup and remove it before it progresses.

A healthier looking smile- Stained or discolored teeth can affect the aesthetics of a smile. During your dental checkups and cleaning sessions, our dentists provide effective treatment in ridding the teeth of these stains.

Fresher breath- Chronic bad breath (or halitosis) is usually an indication of advancing gum disease. The deposit of food particles and potential infection stemming from gum also results in bad breath. The removal of plaque and bacteria at our dental office can noticeably improve halitosis and reduce infection,

If you have missed out on your regular dental visits or dental cleanings, schedule an appointment with us and visit Stone Dental Group, SE Chicago Dentistry. We recommend that professional teeth cleaning be done twice annually as a preventative measure, but should be done every 3-4 months for periodontitis sufferers. Though it is not possible to completely reverse gum disease, prophylaxis or teeth cleaning is one of the tools that can halt its progression.
