Is Professional Teeth Cleaning That Important?

Man smiles during teeth cleaning in Golden, COMaintaining a bright, healthy smile goes beyond just daily brushing and flossing. At Golden Dental Solutions in Golden, Colorado, we believe in the power of professional teeth cleaning to keep your oral health in top shape. But is it really that important? Let’s explore why professional cleanings are essential.

Why Regular Brushing and Flossing Aren’t Enough

You might think brushing twice daily and flossing regularly should be enough to keep your teeth and gums healthy. While these habits are critical for daily oral hygiene, they can’t replace the benefits of professional cleaning. Plaque and tartar often accumulate in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth, leading to tooth decay and gum disease.

Professional teeth cleanings are your first line of defense against those enemies of oral health. During your cleaning, our skilled Golden Dental Solutions hygienists expertly remove plaque and stubborn tartar that ordinary brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. This cleaning helps prevent inflammation, infection, cavities, and gum disease.

If you already have gum disease or struggle with severe tartar buildup, our team might recommend a deep cleaning using laser dentistry (scaling and root planing). With this deep cleaning, our hygienists clean both above and below the gum line, eliminating harmful bacteria lurking beneath the gums.

Beyond the Basics: Detecting Hidden Dental Issues

Another critical reason to schedule regular teeth cleanings is the early detection of dental problems. During your cleaning appointment, our team also examines your mouth for signs of cavities, cancerous lesions, or other concerning changes that could require immediate attention. Professional cleanings offer more than just a polished smile-they’re a preventive measure that protects your overall health.

Making the Most of Your Teeth Cleanings

Alongside your regular teeth cleanings, the American Dental Association also recommends:

  • Brushing twice a day (a manual or electric toothbrush is fine)
  • Flossing every day
  • Limiting sugar-laden drinks and foods

We might also recommend powerful natural supplements: The StellaLife® probiotics kit. It combines oral and gut health probiotics to promote a flourishing microbiome and improved oral and whole-body health.

Putting the power of professional cleanings to work alongside our customized recommendations and oral health care at home gives you the best protection against problems like cavities and gum disease.
