Why it's important?

Oral health affects more than just your teeth. Poor dental hygiene can lead to problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. If left untreated, these issues can escalate into more severe conditions such as tooth loss, infections, or even complications related to heart disease and diabetes.

Good oral health also plays a significant role in your overall confidence. A healthy smile can boost self-esteem and improve your quality of life.

Can I Use Sleep Dentistry for a Dental Clean?

Yes, sleep dentistry can be used for a dental cleaning, particularly if you experience extreme dental anxiety, have a sensitive gag reflex, or require extensive cleaning due to severe dental issues. Under general anaesthesia, you are completely unconscious, allowing the dentist to perform the cleaning without causing you any stress or discomfort.

This can be especially beneficial for patients who have avoided dental visits due to fear, ensuring that their oral health is maintained without the distress associated with being awake for the procedure. 

How Often Should I Get a Dental Clean?

Regular dental visits are key to maintaining oral health. We recommend that most patients visit the dentist every six months for a check up and cleaning. However, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits if you are prone to gum disease or have other dental concerns.

Your dentist can detect early signs of problems like cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer during your appointment. Early detection makes treatment easier and prevents these issues from becoming more serious. Even if you practice good oral hygiene at home, professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that can build up in hard-to-reach areas.

Steps Involved 

Professional dental cleaning involves several steps to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums which include, Oral examination, scaling, polishing, flossing, fluoride treatment (optional).
