Dental Hygiene & Cleaning Brampton
Dental Hygiene and Teeth Cleaning at Braydon Dental Care
At Braydon Dental Care, maintaining your oral health goes beyond just brushing and flossing at home. Regular dental cleanings and check-ups are key to preventing long-term dental issues. Our team provides personalized care and advice to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Evaluation
During your dental cleaning appointment, our highly trained dental hygienists will:
- Examine all the soft tissues of your mouth, including gums, cheeks, lips, and tongue, for signs of health or disease.
- Measure gum attachment levels to assess for gum disease.
- Remove plaque and tartar (calculus) from your teeth.
- Offer personalized recommendations for maintaining your oral health.
Our hygienists collaborate closely with Dr. Manny Mangat to ensure your long-term dental well-being.
Importance of Regular Professional Cleanings
Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—continually forms on your teeth. If not properly removed, plaque can harden into tartar, which harbors bacteria and irritates gum tissue. This can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease, and if left unchecked, could result in tooth loss.
While you can remove plaque at home, only a professional cleaning can remove tartar. During your cleaning, our team uses specialized instruments and polishing pastes to leave your teeth smooth, shiny, and free of harmful build-up. This process not only cleans your teeth but also helps slow discoloration and other long-term effects of plaque.
Oral Cancer Screenings
At every cleaning visit, we also perform a comprehensive oral cancer screening. We examine the gums, tongue, cheeks, lips, and jaw to detect any unusual changes or abnormalities. Early detection of oral cancer significantly improves the chances of successful treatment. If we notice anything concerning, we may recommend further testing or a biopsy.
Customized Home Care Recommendations
Good oral health depends not only on professional cleanings but also on your daily habits. Brushing twice a day and flossing once daily are essential. Our hygienists will help you choose the right products for your needs, such as electric toothbrushes or prescription-strength toothpaste to fight plaque and maintain your smile.
Some patients may need more specialized home care routines based on their risk for dental issues. Simple changes, like incorporating Xylitol into your routine, can reduce the risk of cavities and other oral health problems.
Committed to Your Health
At Braydon Dental Care, we strive to make your dental cleaning experience comfortable and stress-free. We are also here to support you if you're trying to quit smoking, which is a significant risk factor for oral cancer. Our team is happy to provide resources to help you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle.
