Why Regular Dental Cleanings Are Essential for Oral Health
At Palmetto Periodontics, we emphasize the importance of regular dental cleanings as a cornerstone of oral health. Located in Columbia, SC, our clinic provides comprehensive dental cleaning services designed to prevent dental diseases and maintain healthy, beautiful smiles for our patients.
Understanding the Importance of Dental Cleanings
Dental cleanings involve removing plaque and tartar that cannot be eliminated by brushing and flossing alone. Regular cleanings help prevent conditions such as tooth decay and periodontal disease, and they are crucial for maintaining overall oral health.
Benefits of Professional Dental Cleanings
- Prevention of Gum Disease: Regular cleanings help keep gum disease at bay, protecting against potential tooth loss and other health complications.
- Early Detection of Dental Issues: Routine visits allow our dentists to detect early signs of problems such as cavities or oral cancers.
- Maintenance of Overall Health: Good oral health is linked to reduced risks of heart disease, stroke, and other medical conditions.
Dr. James P. Wilson's Approach to Dental Health
Dr. James P. Wilson leads our team with a focus on thorough, gentle cleanings that respect the individual needs of each patient. His expertise in periodontal health ensures that our dental cleanings go beyond the basics, incorporating assessments of gum health and personalized advice on oral hygiene.
Our Dental Cleaning Process
- Assessment: Each session starts with a detailed examination of your teeth and gums to tailor our cleaning approach.
- Scaling: We remove plaque and tartar buildup both above and below the gum line using advanced tools.
- Polishing: Teeth are polished to remove stains and smooth the enamel, which helps prevent future plaque buildup.
- Fluoride Treatment: If necessary, a fluoride treatment is applied to help strengthen the teeth and protect against decay.
