At Dickson Street Dental, we’re committed to helping our patient community understand the connection between oral health and overall health. This is why hygiene cleans form such an important part of our general dental services.

Why Are Oral Hygiene Cleans So Important?

Visiting our dentist for a regular oral hygiene clean is not just important; it’s essential for maintaining good oral health. Even the most diligent dental care requires a professional clean at least every six months, and more frequently in some cases, such as every three months. Daily brushing and flossing help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. However, seeing your dentist for a hygiene clean ensures that dental concerns can be identified and addressed in good time, before they become more costly and complex to treat.

Benefits of Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene has many benefits, contributing to a healthy lifestyle, good nutrition, and a confident smile. It is also a major factor in overall health. Research indicates that some oral conditions are linked to heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease, and may even cause strokes.

Oral Hygiene for All Ages

Taking charge of your oral health is well within the reach of each individual, including the youngest members of the family. Our oral hygiene therapists are skilled and experienced at providing age-appropriate education, teaching children, teens, and adults the brushing and flossing techniques they need to keep their smiles healthy and beautiful.

Our Approach to Your Regular Hygiene Clean

During your regular hygiene clean, we will:

Examine Your Oral Health: Carefully examine your teeth, gums, and general oral health to identify any decay or wear on your teeth and check the condition of your gums.
Thorough Cleaning: Clean your teeth thoroughly to remove any plaque, calculus, and staining.
Flossing: Floss your teeth to ensure all debris is removed.
Fluoride Application: Recommend the application of professional-strength fluoride to strengthen your teeth.
