At the Gentle Family Dentistry & Implant Center, we get it. We know that coming in for a routine teeth cleaning isn’t the most fun thing to do in your day. But we simply cannot stress the importance of these visits enough. Even if you have an immaculate dental hygiene routine with brushing, flossing, and rinsing, there can still be a leftover plaque that can lead to serious issues for your teeth. It takes professional teeth cleaning in Bethlehem, PA, to truly give you a clean dental bill of health. Continue reading to find out more about why routine cleanings are so important.

It Takes a Professional

While you may give yourself a smile after you brush your teeth in the morning and think everything looks good, plaque can be incredibly hard to identify. It takes a trained dentist to know where to look for plaque and see the signs that your gums may be getting irritated by it. And this isn't to discredit all of our patients who do a wonderful job keeping up with their dental hygiene routines. But plaque is stubborn and very hard to get rid of without professional instruments. Though the better your routine is throughout the day, the more you help us make your cleaning visits quicker and easier for both of us!

It’s a Reset for Your Mouth

Besides plaque, staining can also build up over time for your teeth and be troublesome for the look of your smile. A professional cleaning every so often can allow for a reset for your teeth to try and limit further staining. This will inevitably happen eventually if you consume staining foods, but professional cleaning can help fight against it. You can also talk to us about doing a whitening treatment if your teeth are already stained. Furthermore, if you feel you have consistent bad breath, this can be due to a lack of proper flossing and rotting food being present in your gum line. This is another factor that can be fixed by professional teeth cleaning.

Cleanings Are an Early Warning System

It may sound a bit intense but it's true. Having regular cleaning visits every three to four months allows us here at the Gentle Family Dentistry & Implant Center to monitor your mouth for any potential issues. Whether it's with your teeth, gums, or anything in between we can be sure that your dental health is at its best. You can schedule your next cleaning at our dental office in Bethlehem, PA, by calling 610.861.0190.
