Why Regular Dental Cleanings Are Essential

Routine dental cleanings and exams are vital for more than just a sparkling smile—they’re foundational to your long-term oral health and overall well-being and happiness. Here’s why our team at Espire Dental Riverfront takes dental checkups with regular cleanings so seriously:

Prevention of Tooth Decay and Gum Disease: Plaque buildup is the leading cause of cavities and gum disease. Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits at home, plaque can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a professional dental cleaning. Regular cleanings help prevent these issues and decay before they start, saving you from potential pain and costly dental treatment in the future.
Early Detection of Dental Problems: During your cleaning, our dental hygienists are specially trained to look for early signs of dental problems like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. Catching these problems early can lead to more manageable, less invasive treatments, help prevent gum disease, and improve overall health.
A Fresher, Brighter Smile: Cleanings help remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and other foods, polishing your teeth to their natural brightness. You’ll leave our office with a cleaner, healthier smile that feels great. Only a dentist can give you the ultra-fresh feeling of clean teeth!
Support for Overall Health: Oral health is closely linked to your overall health. Gum disease has been connected to systemic diseases and health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, clogged arteries, stroke, and birth complications. By going to regular dental cleanings, you’re protecting your smile and improving your overall health.

Essential Parts of Your Dental Exams and Cleanings at Espire Dental Riverfront in Denver, CO

‍Dental X-rays and Images:
Dental x-rays and images allow our dentist and hygienist to see the health of your teeth and jawbone, detection of bone loss, development of teeth, inflammation, teeth alignment, surrounding bone and tissue, and ongoing conditions. To not see is to guess, and we take your dental health seriously because we understand the vital link that oral health has to your overall health.
Dental Fluoride:
Dental fluoride helps prevent tooth decay and maintain oral health by strengthening your tooth’s enamel, making it more resistant to acid, bacteria, and food that causes decay. Fluoride is safe and effective and is dentist-recommended for the prevention of decay, enhancement of tooth remineralization, and prevention of enamel erosion for children, teens, and adults.

How Often Should I Have My Teeth Examined and Cleaned?

It’s generally recommended to have a dental exam and cleaning every six months. This routine visit allows us to monitor your oral health, detect any issues early, and thoroughly clean to prevent plaque buildup and cavities. Depending on your oral health needs, we may suggest more frequent visits.

What Happens If I Skip a Dental Exam or Cleaning?

Skipping dental exams and cleanings can lead to undetected issues, such as cavities or gum disease, which may worsen over time. Regular visits are essential for preventing severe dental problems and ensuring your smile stays healthy.

Does Insurance cover Dental Exams and Cleanings?

Most dental insurance plans cover routine exams and cleanings as part of their preventive care benefits. Typically, this includes one or two visits per year at no additional cost. To confirm your coverage, it’s best to check with your insurance provider. Our team is here to help you navigate your benefits.

What Should I Do If I Have Sensitivity During a Cleaning?

If you experience sensitivity during a cleaning, notify your hygienist immediately. We can adjust the cleaning technique or use desensitizing products to minimize discomfort, ensuring a more comfortable experience.

Can Dental Exams and Cleanings Help with Bad Breath?

Yes, regular dental exams and cleanings can significantly reduce bad breath by removing plaque and tartar buildup, which are common causes. We’ll also check for underlying issues that might contribute to persistent bad breath.

How Can I Improve My Oral Hygiene Between Visits?

To maintain excellent oral hygiene between dental visits, brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss regularly, and consider using an antimicrobial mouthwash. A balanced diet and avoiding tobacco products will also help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
