While excellent oral care starts at home, visiting a dentist is equally critical for taking care of your dental health. At Smile In Style, Diem Do DDS, in Marrero, Louisiana, we understand that your oral health is vital, and that’s why we provide teeth cleaning services with a gentle and personalized approach.

What to expect during teeth cleaning

Your mouth is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria when left unattended. Bacteria cause tooth decay and infect your gums, leading to bad breath, tooth loss, and a host of other health complications. Because we understand that your mouth is at risk of a bacteria attack, we perform dental cleanings to optimize your oral health. But what does dental cleaning entail? Here is what to expect.

It starts with a full dental exam to evaluate the state of your teeth, jaws, gums, and other tissues. Dr. Diem Do uses an intraoral camera and X-ray images for better examination of your mouth. Then, using a small mirror and a scaler, our doctor gently cleans your teeth to remove tartar and plaque.

Next, we polish your teeth with slightly gritty toothpaste to restore the shine of your teeth. Finally, the dentist flosses your teeth to remove any debris left during the cleaning process. And just like that, you can now walk away with a healthy smile.

Why are dental cleanings necessary?

With day-to-day preoccupations filling your calendar, you may put your dental visits on the wayside, especially if you are not experiencing any pain. However, dental cleanings are an integral component of your oral health, regardless of your age.

Here are the reasons why you shouldn’t miss dental cleanings:

• Preventive care: When you visit our clinic, we don’t go straight to dental cleanings. Dr. Diem Do performs an in-depth evaluation of your teeth, gums, tongue, and other tissues in the mouth to check for any teeth cavities, decay, gum diseases, signs of oral cancer, and other oral diseases. This way, oral problems can be spotted early, helping you start with treatment right away.
• Optimized oral care: While brushing at home is essential, your toothbrush doesn’t reach all areas in your mouth. Besides, your toothbrush isn’t efficient in removing tartar buildup in your mouth. And as you know, if tartar and plaque are left intact, they will lead to gum diseases. In contrast, dental cleaning is effective in removing tartar and accessing hard-to-reach surfaces, deterring gum diseases.
• Professional advice: After examining the state of your oral health, our doctor gives you handy advice on taking care of your dental health now and for years to come.
• Rejuvenated smile: Dental cleanings are effective in removing most teeth stains. Besides, our doctor polishes your teeth at the end of the process to give you a beautiful, healthy smile.
