The Importance of Professional Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings are the cornerstone of maintaining optimal oral health. The American Dental Association strongly recommends adults undergo dental cleanings and check-ups at least every six months. These routine visits play a pivotal role in preventing dental issues and can help identify early signs of decay or gum problems, ultimately sparing you from painful and costly conditions like periodontal disease.

Prevent
Tooth Decay
Our dental hygienists skillfully remove bacteria and plaque buildup during a cleaning, averting the formation of tartar, which can lead to tooth decay.
Gum Disease
Prevention
Regular cleanings significantly reduce the risk of gum disease by maintaining healthy gum tissues.
Avoid Dental Emergencies
Keeping your teeth robust and healthy reduces the likelihood of dental emergencies, sparing you unexpected discomfort and costs.
Early Detection
of Issues
Routine examinations and cleanings allow us to identify any potential issues, including oral cancer, in their early stages when treatment is most effective.

Prevent Plaque Buildup That
Leads to Tooth Decay
When food particles get trapped in the crevices of your teeth, bacteria starts to flourish and transform into harmful plaque. This sticky film adheres to your teeth and gums and, if left untreated, hardens into tartar. Tartar cannot be eliminated through regular brushing and flossing alone, necessitating professional removal. Failure to address tartar buildup can result in bad breath, gum disease, tooth decay, and, in severe cases, tooth loss.
What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning & Exam
When you visit Dental Care of Boca Raton for your dental cleaning and exam, you can anticipate a comprehensive and attentive approach to your oral health.

Professional Dental Cleaning
Our skilled dental hygienists will employ specialized instruments to meticulously remove plaque and tartar buildup. They will also polish your teeth to achieve a smooth surface and eliminate stains. Flossing is an essential part of the process, and if deemed necessary, we may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your teeth's protective enamel.
Oral Examination
Our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums. They will be on the lookout for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other potential issues. Additionally, they will perform a comprehensive oral cancer screening, checking for any unusual bumps or lesions on your gums, lips, or cheeks. If any issues are detected, such as bleeding gums, cavities, or misaligned teeth, we will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs.

Digital Dental X-Rays
In some cases, you may receive digital dental X-rays to assess your bite and identify any signs of TMJ or bruxism. These diagnostic X-rays allow us to investigate issues that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as bone loss or decay beneath the gum line.
