Good oral hygiene is the foundation of a healthy, beautiful smile. At Stamford Green Dental, our dental hygiene and cleaning services help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while keeping your teeth looking and feeling their best. Regular cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, promoting long-term oral health and preventing future dental problems.
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Professional cleanings help to:
✅ Remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup
✅ Prevent gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
✅ Reduce bad breath (halitosis)
✅ Brighten your smile by removing surface stains
✅ Protect overall health—oral health is linked to heart disease and diabetes
Our gentle and thorough hygiene appointments include:
1️⃣ Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment – Our hygienists check your teeth and gums for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns.
2️⃣ Plaque & Tartar Removal – Using specialized tools, we gently remove hardened plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t reach.
3️⃣ Professional Polishing – We polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave them smooth and shiny.
4️⃣ Fluoride Treatment (Optional) – A fluoride application may be recommended to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.
5️⃣ Personalized Oral Care Tips – Our team provides expert guidance on brushing, flossing, and diet to maintain a healthy smile between visits.
For most patients, we recommend a professional cleaning every six months. However, if you have a history of gum disease or heavy plaque buildup, more frequent cleanings may be needed to maintain optimal oral health.
