Periodontal Therapy 60659
Our West Ridge family dentist uses special cleaning and deep cleaning techniques, such as scaling, planing, debridement, and polishing, in order to rid your mouth of any lingering bacteria and food debris. It is important to have your teeth cleaned professionally about twice a year in order to best prevent the development of cavities or periodontal disease. In addition to taking advantage of the deep cleaning techniques provided by our West Ridge family dentist, you should also be using your own cleaning techniques at home in order to keep up your end of the deal. Home care is essential to keeping your mouth healthy and in good hygiene. In order to do so, it is necessary that you brush at least twice a day. When brushing your teeth, you should point the toothbrush down towards your gums, and brush in a gentle, circular motion. Make sure that you carefully brush each tooth. Flossing is also important in preventing bacteria buildup, as well as using an antibacterial oral rinse. If you take proper care of your teeth at home, and visit us here for regular cleanings, your oral health and hygiene will undoubtedly be in great shape.

If you have any specific questions or concerns that we can help you with, do not hesitate to contact us either by phone or online.
