Teeth Cleaning in Stony Plain and Spruce Grove

The Importance of Good Oral health

It is well documented and accepted within the healthcare community that there is a link between oral health and the health of the body. Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most common human diseases.

Gum disease is often silent, meaning symptoms do not present themselves until you have already entered an advanced stage of the disease. It is essential to pay attention to the warning signs:

  • Red, swollen or tender gums or other pain in your mouth.
  • Bleeding while brushing, flossing, or eating hard food.
  • Gums that are receding or pulling away from the teeth, causing the teeth to look longer than before.
  • Loose or separating teeth.
  • Pus between your gums and teeth.
  • Sores in your mouth.
  • Persistent bad breath.
  • A change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite.
  • A change in the fit of partial dentures
 

This serious infection that can go unnoticed as you will not feel it until it is too late. If left untreated, the bacteria that cause gum disease may travel through the bloodstream increasing the chance of heart disease, stroke, respiratory diseases and pregnancy complications.

What is Dental Hygiene (Teeth Cleaning)

Dental Hygiene, or Teeth Cleaning, is all about keeping your teeth and gums healthy. When you come in for a teeth cleaning at our dental office in Stony Plain, we remove plaque and tartar that may cause gum disease and cavities  down the road if they’re not taken care of. Regular dental hygiene helps prevent these issues, keep your gums healthy, and make sure your teeth stay strong and look great. At North Stony Dental, we focus on thorough cleanings and also teach you how to take care of your teeth at home, so your smile stays fresh between visits.

What Happens During Your Hygiene Appointment?

At North Stony Dental, we ensure your hygiene appointment in Stony Plain is not just about cleaning your teeth, but an educational and comprehensive dental care experience. Each step of your visit at our dental office focuses on thorough care and patient comfort.

  • Patient Reception and History Review

    Our friendly staff will welcome you and review your dental and medical history. This initial step helps us tailor the appointment to your specific health needs, ensuring a personalized care experience.

  • Scaling and Plaque Removal

    We gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. Scaling prevents the progression of gum disease and cavities by cleaning areas that are hard to reach with regular brushing and flossing.

  • Polishing

    After scaling, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and plaque, making your teeth feel smooth and fresh. Polishing helps in reducing plaque accumulation and enhances the aesthetic of your smile.

  • Fluoride Treatment

    An optional fluoride treatment may be applied to help strengthen your teeth and protect against decay. This quick and painless process is a great defense against cavities, especially for children and adults prone to decay.

  • Educational Session

    At the end of your appointment, our hygienist will provide you with personalized advice on how to improve your home care routine, including brushing, flossing, and diet suggestions for optimal oral health.

  • Future Care Planning

    Before you leave, we’ll discuss and schedule any future appointments or treatments needed. This planning ensures you continue to receive the best care and maintain excellent oral health.

Hygiene in Stony Plain

When should you Visit A Dental Hygienist?

The Canadian Dental Association recommends that children have their first dental visit within six months of the eruption of their first tooth or by their first birthday. During these first visit, your child will have the opportunity to meet and feel comfortable around all of our staff including our dental hygienists. These early appointments are crucial for ensuring proper oral health and development.

For adults, it’s typically recommended to see a dental hygienist for cleaning and check-ups every six months to a year to prevent dental issues and maintain optimal oral hygiene. It’s critical to note that every patient is different, so the frequency of dental hygiene needed could vary greatly based on each patient’s needs.
