The Importance of Teeth Cleanings

While good daily dental hygiene is important for maintaining a healthy smile, the benefits of regular professional teeth cleanings should not be underestimated.

In addition to a routine regimen that includes brushing your teeth at least twice every day and flossing, the Bellevue, Washington, dentists at Cooley Smiles recommend you visit our comfortable and accommodating office at least twice each year for a professional check-up and teeth cleaning.

Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque can accumulate in hard-to-clean areas on your teeth and eventually contribute to cavities and gum disease. Professional teeth cleaning sessions employ advanced dental instruments to safely and effectively clean all of your teeth, including trouble spots.

These visits also allow our Bellevue dentists an opportunity to thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, and begin early treatment for any problems. The earlier issues such as periodontal disease or cavities are diagnosed, the easier and more effective treatment can be.

Biannual check-ups and teeth cleanings are instrumental in helping you maintain a smile that is as vibrant as it is healthy.

Please contact us at Cooley Smiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry if you would like to learn more about the benefits of professional teeth cleanings or schedule your check-up with one of our Bellevue, Washington, dentists.
