Professional teeth cleanings are important preventive treatments that are designed to complement home dental care, including regular brushing and flossing. At Virginia H. Ellis, DDS Dental Corp., teeth cleanings are performed by registered dental hygienists who have advanced training and extensive experience. Our entire team is known throughout the Orinda, California, area for being knowledgeable, caring, and gentle. When performed at appropriate intervals, teeth cleanings can be very effective for preventing tooth decay and gum disease. However, many factors can contribute to the development of cavities and other dental issues. A teeth cleaning appointment provides an excellent opportunity to develop and review an effective oral healthcare plan with a dentist.
In addition to an oral health examination performed by a dentist, a teeth cleaning appointment at Virginia H. Ellis, DDS Dental Corp. will typically include:
Because no two patients or mouths are exactly alike, the most appropriate type and frequency of teeth cleaning can vary among individuals. For instance, people who build up tartar quickly or have symptoms of early-stage gingivitis (gum disease) may benefit from more frequent appointments than others who may do well being seen twice a year. A dentist or hygienist at Virginia H. Ellis, DDS Dental Corp. can determine the frequency that would be most beneficial for you based on several unique factors, including your home care practices, risk of tooth decay, and general health. For more information about teeth cleanings or to schedule an examination to determine the specific type of cleaning that would best suit your needs, contact Virginia H. Ellis, DDS Dental.
