About Our Dental Hygiene Services
At Sala Family Dentistry, we are committed to helping you achieve and maintain optimal oral health through our comprehensive dental hygiene services. Proper oral hygiene plays a key role in preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues. Here’s what we offer to keep your smile healthy and bright:
Teeth Cleaning
Our routine professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup in hard-to-reach areas that regular brushing and flossing can miss. We use advanced tools to gently clean your teeth and polish them, leaving you with a smooth, refreshed feeling.
Periodontal Therapy
Gum health is essential for your overall oral health. Our periodontal therapy services focus on preventing and treating gum disease. If you’re experiencing bleeding gums or inflammation, we can help manage and reverse the effects with deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. After your cleaning, we may recommend a fluoride treatment to reinforce your enamel and protect against decay, especially if you are prone to cavities.
Sealants
For children or patients with deep grooves in their molars, we offer dental sealants. This protective coating helps to “seal” these areas, preventing food and bacteria from getting trapped and causing cavities.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection is key when it comes to oral cancer. During every hygiene visit, we perform a quick and painless oral cancer screening to look for any abnormalities in your mouth, lips, or throat.
Digital X-rays
Our state-of-the-art digital X-rays provide a clearer view of your teeth and gums with minimal radiation exposure. We use X-rays to identify hidden issues like cavities, impacted teeth, or bone loss, ensuring we catch problems early.
At Sala Family Dentistry, we strive to make every dental hygiene visit a comfortable and educational experience. Our friendly hygienists will work with you to create a personalized hygiene plan to keep your smile healthy for years to come.
Why Dental Hygiene is Important
At Sala Family Dentistry we have a wonderful group of highly trained hygienists who can effectively treat all of your dental health needs. This group has received extensive education in managing your oral health, and their therapy is outstanding. We can treat your needs painlessly and efficiently covering all ranges of health from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis (gum disease).
Our dental hygiene department puts an emphasis on preventative care. We encourage the use of topical fluoride at regular cleanings for children and adults to help prevent tooth decay and to reduce or eliminate sensitivity in teeth.
