Dental Hygiene & Cleaning Pueblo
Preventative dental care is the key to maintaining strong, healthy teeth and gums. At Twin Rivers Dental, we empower our patients with expert knowledge and top-tier preventative treatments to minimize future dental costs and maintain long-term oral health.
Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Evaluation
Our highly trained dental hygienists conduct thorough oral health evaluations during every visit. They will:
- Assess soft tissues for signs of disease or abnormalities
- Measure gum attachment levels to detect early stages of gum disease
- Remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent decay and infection
- Provide personalized oral hygiene recommendations for optimal dental health
Our dedicated hygienists work closely with our dentists to develop customized treatment plans that support your long-term oral well-being.
Why is Professional Teeth Cleaning Essential?
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and bacteria can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas, leading to potential tooth decay and gum disease. Without professional cleanings, this buildup may cause discomfort, pain, and even tooth loss over time.
Understanding Plaque and Calculus
Plaque is a sticky, white biofilm that continuously forms on your teeth. The bacteria within plaque produce acids that erode enamel and irritate gums, potentially leading to gingivitis and periodontal disease.
If plaque is not removed through daily brushing and flossing, it hardens into calculus (also known as tartar). Unlike plaque, calculus cannot be removed with a toothbrush—only a professional dental cleaning can eliminate it. To keep plaque and calculus under control, brush twice daily, floss at least once a day, and schedule regular cleanings with your dentist.
