Here’s a question that most dentist is often asked: How important is professional teeth cleaning and how often do I have to do it?

 

Truth is, teeth cleaning by professionals (whether by a dentist or a registered dental hygienist) is essential in maintaining not just your oral health, but that of so many other functions of your body. As you may very well know, the different parts of the human body are all linked together, and that the state of one can very well affect that of others.

 

Look at teeth cleaning as sort of facial cleaning for the mouth. A way to rid the mouth of nasty things that won’t be achieved by brushing or flossing (although these are very very important as well).

 

By going in for professional teeth cleaning regularly (which should be every 6 months), you are able to reap the following benefits: prevent cavities and tooth loss through removal of plaque buildup; improve the appearance of your smile; keep your mouth fresh and your gums healthy, and; give your dentist the opportunity to detect early signs of more serious dental issues.

 

It is also important to note that there is a strong link that exists between gum problems and cardiovascular diseases. Needless to say, keeping your gums healthy can significantly reduce the chances of acquiring deadly cardiovascular diseases in the future.

 

One thing you should know about professional teeth cleaning is that there exists more than one kind, and each one is tailored depending on the different lifestyles and oral issues that exist today.

 

At Beduya Dental, we offer seven kinds of professional cleaning services, namely UltraClean.This service is perfect for those with active periodontal diseases as it removes plaque, tartar and bacteria from the surfaces of the teeth below the gum line. The service is finished off with the application of fluoride or medication on the teeth, depending on your condition.

 

Orthoprophy is a deep cleaning service that is performed on people wearing braces. It involves several steps to ensure that every nook and cranny of your teeth are clean and free from tartar buildup. It is ideal that orthodontic patients go in for this service every quarter to prevent the formation of “stains”.

It is also important to get your teeth clean after you have your braces removed—to make sure that you completely remove any build up that might have been hidden by your brackets; buildups that, if left alone, can cause significant damage. For this, Beduya Dental offers Brace-Free, a special cleaning service post-braces.

 

PediaCare is another kind of teeth cleaning service that is especially designed for children. It is less intense and is meant to maintain the overall oral health of children aged 4 to 10. Meanwhile, people who wear crowns and/or bridges can keep them looking nice and bright with ClinBridge, a service which includes cleaning between corners and in places hidden from plain sight.

 

Finally, smokers can say goodbye to the stains on their teeth with Stain-Free (for light smokers and coffee drinkers) and Ultimate Stain-Free (for seriously stained teeth due to heavy smoking). These two services are guaranteed to give you significantly cleaner and brighter teeth, plus a fresher breath, instantly.

 

With all the different benefits and options available for you, there is no reason for you to skip on dental cleaning services.

 

As a final note, we urge that you only go to duly-registered professionals and clinics, like Beduya Dental, for any oral services you may need.
