Cleanings Are Necessary For Great Oral Hygiene
A teeth cleaning in South Pasadena can save you from problems you don’t want.
We’ll be the first to tell you that regular dental cleanings twice a year aren’t the only things necessary for you to keep great oral health. Proper brushing and flossing techniques are also important, but neither can ensure perfect oral hygiene. However, in combination, cleanings and proper care at home can go a long way, but when they don’t we have a way of being able to tell hopefully before it’s too late. Dental cleanings aren’t just important to remove unwanted bacteria from your mouth; they are also the key to finding oral health problems you may not know about early on.
Consequences Of Poor Dental Hygiene
You may need face the issues below if you neglect your teeth and gums.
Tooth Cavities
Any cavities? No issue. At South Pasadena Dental Group, we now prefer porcelain and tooth-colored restorations over silver and mercury amalgams. We can make cavity fillings that are not only undetectable but also able to reinforce a weak tooth by using state-of-the-art bonding materials.
Stained Teeth
Our teeth-whitening procedure at South Pasadena Dental Group employs a bleaching chemical with a hydrogen peroxide base to penetrate the dentin and remove stains, plaque, and discolouration, leaving teeth dazzling and gleaming.
Gum Diseases
Gum infections known as periodontal diseases slowly erode the bone that supports your natural teeth. There are multiple disease entities that call for various therapeutic modalities. Gum disease is primarily brought on by dental plaque in people. Most periodontal problems can be prevented with daily brushing and flossing.
Why is Dental Examination Important?
Cleaning & Exam in South Pasadena is important to your overall health.
Dental cleanings are essential not only for your oral health but for your overall health, too. One key part of a cleaning at our South Pasadena office is the comprehensive exam performed at each visit. During the exam, your dentist checks for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other hidden issues. Digital X-rays help detect problems like tumors, bone loss, and cysts that aren’t visible to the eye. If decay is found, your dentist will explain the severity and treatment options. You’ll also receive an oral cancer screening, with checks around the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, and gums. Additionally, any previous dental work—such as crowns, fillings, or implants—will be examined to ensure everything remains in good condition and continues to function properly.
