Dental Cleanings & Maintenance in San Antonio, TX
Ferro Family Cosmetic Dentistry prioritizes our patients’ oral health to bring smiles to life. We believe in the power of prevention, and one vital aspect of maintaining a healthy smile is bi-annual cleanings. As recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), regular bi-annual cleanings play a significant role in ensuring optimal oral health. These cleanings, also known as dental prophylaxis, aim to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gums. While brushing and flossing are crucial in maintaining good oral hygiene, professional cleanings provide thorough and deep cleaning that cannot be achieved at home.
What to Expect at a Dental Cleaning
During a bi-annual cleaning, our skilled dental hygienists will carefully examine your mouth, looking for signs of any potential issues. Through advanced technology and techniques, they will remove stubborn plaque and tartar from your teeth, even from hard-to-reach areas. This process helps prevent the progression of gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. In addition to the cleaning, the dentist will examine the teeth and gums for signs of any potential issues. Finding problems early on means we can treat them before they become more complex. These appointments are also a great time to discuss dental concerns and review a proper routine for home care in between bi-annual visits.
Stay on the Right Track With Routine Dental Cleanings
We encourage patients of every age to stay on schedule with Routine Dental Cleanings. However, we understand that doesn’t always happen. Maybe you’re new to the area and have yet to find a dentist, or you had to cancel your last appointment due to a conflict, and you’ve lost track of time. Life happens, and things can get in the way of taking care of ourselves. No matter how long it’s been since your last cleaning, we encourage you to contact our office, and we’ll help you remain on track with bi-annual cleanings.
