Oral Hygiene & Professional Cleanings – Your Path to a Healthier Smile

At Kerr Dental Clinic, we believe that a healthy smile starts with great oral hygiene. Our Oral Hygiene & Professional Cleanings service is the foundation of preventive dental care, helping you maintain a bright, healthy smile while preventing issues like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Whether you’re due for a routine cleaning or looking to improve your at-home care, we’re here to help you achieve optimal oral health.

Why Are Professional Cleanings Important?

Even with the best at-home brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Professional cleanings are essential for:

  • Removing Plaque & Tartar: Prevent cavities and gum disease by eliminating buildup that brushing alone can’t remove.

  • Freshening Your Breath: Get rid of bacteria that cause bad breath.

  • Preventing Gum Disease: Early detection and treatment of gingivitis can save your gums and teeth.

  • Maintaining Overall Health: Poor oral health has been linked to serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Regular cleanings help protect your whole body.

Our Oral Hygiene & Cleaning Process

At Kerr Dental Clinic, we make your cleaning experience comfortable, thorough, and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

  1. Comprehensive Exam
    Before your cleaning, we’ll perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues.

  2. Plaque & Tartar Removal
    Using specialized tools, we’ll gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially in areas that are hard to reach with a toothbrush.

  3. Teeth Polishing
    After cleaning, we’ll polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile looking bright and shiny.

  4. Flossing & Fluoride Treatment
    We’ll floss between your teeth to ensure they’re completely clean and may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities.

  5. Personalized Oral Care Tips
    Our team will provide tips and techniques to improve your at-home oral hygiene routine, so you can keep your smile healthy between visits.

FAQ

Most patients benefit from a cleaning every six months, but we may recommend more frequent visits if you have specific oral health needs

Not at all! Our team uses gentle techniques to ensure your comfort. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know—we can adjust the process to make it more comfortable for you.

While cleanings remove surface stains, they won’t dramatically whiten your teeth. For a brighter smile, ask us about our professional teeth whitening options.

Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If not removed, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional.

Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and use an antibacterial mouthwash. Our team can provide personalized tips during your visit.
