Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It's typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—to build up on the teeth and harden. Regular dental cleanings at Constandelis Dental can help prevent gum disease by removing the plaque and tartar buildup.
As part of your dental cleaning, Dr. Dena Constandelis will also conduct an examination of your mouth. This allows her to detect any potential issues such as cavities, gum disease, or even oral cancer at an early stage. Early detection often results in simpler and more cost-effective treatment.
A clean, healthy mouth and a bright smile can do wonders for your self-esteem and confidence. Regular dental cleanings help to remove stains and keep your teeth looking their best, giving you another reason to smile.
The dental cleaning process begins with a thorough examination of your mouth. Dr. Dena Constandelis will use a small mirror to check around your teeth and gums for any signs of gingivitis or other potential concerns.
Using a tool called a scaler, Dr. Dena Constandelis will scrape off plaque and tartar from your tooth surfaces and gum line. You may hear scraping, but this is normal. The more tartar there is in your mouth, the more time she'll need to scrape a particular spot.
Once your teeth are completely tartar-free, they will be brushed with a high-powered electric brush and a gritty toothpaste. This brushing will effectively remove any leftover tartar. Then, professional flossing will be done to remove anything that the brushing might have missed.
