DENTAL CLEANINGS
Keep Your Smile Healthy with Professional Hygiene Care
Brushing and flossing at home are essential, but professional cleanings provide a deeper level of care. At Dr. Saima Shora Dentistry, we offer routine dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup from areas that are difficult to reach on your own. These visits help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and long-term oral health issues. During your hygiene appointment, our dental team performs a thorough cleaning and evaluates your teeth and gums for any signs of inflammation or early damage. We also review your home care routine and provide recommendations to support better oral hygiene habits. Regular cleanings are key to maintaining a healthy, confident smile.
Dental Hygiene Visits
Preventative Care That Protects Your Smile
Dental cleanings remove soft plaque and hardened tartar from your teeth and around your gumline. Plaque is a sticky, bacteria-filled film that forms after eating or drinking. If not removed regularly, it hardens into tartar, which can lead to inflammation, bleeding, and gum recession. Over time, this may cause tooth sensitivity, enamel erosion, and even bone loss.
Our hygienists use gentle, effective techniques to clean your teeth and polish the surface, leaving your smile refreshed. If any areas of concern are found, we will work with you to create a preventative care plan before larger problems develop.
Desensitization and Fluoride Options
Comfort-Focused Add-Ons for Sensitive Teeth
If cold drinks or hot foods cause discomfort, you may have dental sensitivity caused by gum recession, enamel wear, or other conditions. We offer in-office desensitizing treatments using fluoride gels or other strengthening agents. These options help reduce painful sensations and support long-term enamel health.
Fluoride is also helpful for patients with a history of decay, dry mouth, or root exposure. It works by strengthening the enamel and reducing the chance of future cavities. While fluoride is often recommended for children, adults with sensitivity or high risk may also benefit from these treatments.
The Next Step Toward Better Oral Health
Preventative care is one of the most important ways to protect your teeth and gums. At Dr. Saima Shora Dentistry, our team provides a supportive, comfortable approach to dental hygiene even for patients who may feel anxious or overdue for a visit.
