Few people love going to the dentist, but routine teeth cleanings are the best way to prevent decay and gum disease from destroying your smile. The dentist and hygiene team at Inspiration Dental offers gentle, thorough cleanings for patients in Riverview, FL, to prevent oral health issues and costly procedures.
Your mouth is an inviting habitat for pathogenic bacteria. These bacteria create acids that eat through your tooth enamel and toxins that weaken your gum tissues. The less you brush and floss and the more sugary foods and drinks you consume, the easier it is for these bacteria to destroy your teeth and gums. While good oral hygiene and healthy eating habits are crucial for protecting your oral health, regular visits to the dentist are still necessary.
Dental hygienists can see into you’re your mouth and clear it of debris much better than you can on your own. These routine cleanings can help keep your teeth bright and help you keep your breath fresher. The hygienist also has the tools and experience for safe tartar and plaque removal on your teeth and around your gum line. For patients who have gone long between visits, our practice can utilize laser teeth cleaning to reduce the need for traditional dental scaling. Laser therapy can penetrate your soft tissues to kill bacteria more effectively and soften tartar for easier removal. The process is painless and helps prevent further issues with your teeth and gums.
In addition to your cleaning, regular checkups allow the dentist to monitor your teeth, gums, and jaw for oral health issues. We have invested in high-tech diagnostic equipment, such as Cone Beam CT imaging, to check for dental caries, joint issues, and gum health problems. The sooner we spot decay and gum disease, the easier they are to treat, and the shorter time you will spend in the office addressing them.
These routine visits also allow you to discuss your cosmetic goals so you can restore confidence in your smile. Our team can enhance the look of your teeth with a variety of procedures, including teeth whitening, orthodontics, same-day porcelain crowns, and veneers.
