What Routine Dental Cleanings Can Do For You

At Corsi Dental Associates of Woodbury, we believe that routine dental cleanings are essential to keeping your teeth and gums healthy and happy. Regular cleanings help to prevent cavities and gum disease, prevent bad breath, keep your teeth free of plaque and tartar, and more. Read on to learn more about what routine dental cleanings can do for you and what to expect during your cleaning.

Prevent Cavities and Gum Disease

Routine dental cleanings help to prevent cavities and gum disease, which are caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on your teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth, and tartar is hardened plaque that’s more difficult to remove. By getting regular cleanings, you’re helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy and cavity-free.

Help Prevent Bad Breath

Bad breath (or halitosis) is often caused by bacteria in your mouth. Regular cleanings can help to reduce the bacteria in your mouth, which can help to keep your breath smelling fresh.

Keep Your Teeth Free of Plaque and Tartar

Routine dental cleanings can help to remove plaque and tartar that have built up on your teeth. This can help to keep your teeth looking and feeling their best, and can help to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

What to Expect During a Routine Cleaning

During a routine dental cleaning, your dental hygienist or dentist will use special tools to clean your teeth and remove plaque and tartar. Your teeth will be flossed and polished, and the dentist may check for signs of cavities and gum disease. Your dentist may also need to take x-rays.
