SW Calgary Dental Hygiene & Teeth Cleanings

Healthy gums and teeth are the main ingredient of a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile. That is why All About Family Dental is pleased to offer dental hygiene and check-up appointments, to help you achieve optimal oral health. Regular home care is very important, but it focuses only on areas of teeth above the gum line (called scaling). A professional dental cleaning not only focuses on areas above the gumline, but below the gumline as well (called root planing). It is only through regular scaling AND root planing that plaque, tartar, and bacteria can be effectively removed from hard-to-reach areas that are below the gumline that home care cannot reach. Regular professional cleanings and checkups can help keep your teeth and gums healthy from top to bottom. Let All About Dental help you achieve optimal oral health and wellness, with regular dental hygiene and check-up appointments.

All About Family Dental understands that each patient is different and will require a different hygiene and checkup schedule. Most people come in for a dental hygiene appointment every 6 months, although some benefit from coming in every 3-4 months, while others may only need to visit every 9-12 months. Home care, genetics, teeth grinding habits, and teeth positioning all factor into determining the best checkup schedule for each individual. For patients experiencing gum disease, loose teeth, heavy staining, or heavy calculus buildup, a higher frequency of cleaning can help keep teeth healthier. Your dentist will discuss with you how often you should visit us for a dental cleaning/checkup based on your specific and individual needs.
