If you want to avoid problems by maintaining good oral health, preventive dental cleanings are essential. The general recommendation by the American Dental Association is to have cleanings every six months. But each of our patients is unique, and if Dr. Seger suggests more frequent intervals, it’s because they're needed to help you stay a step ahead of gum disease and tooth decay.
Dental Cleaning Procedure at The Dental Health Center
During a professional dental cleaning in Aston, PA, our dental hygienist uses specialized dental instruments to get in the tiny spaces between your teeth and gently clear away plaque and tartar that your toothbrush can’t reach. If we don’t routinely remove this debris, it attracts bacteria that increase your risk of decay and gum disease.
For patients with a history of gum disease, we usually recommend cleanings at three to four-month intervals to help ensure that gum disease does not progress or recur. If you experience rapid tartar buildup, you will require more frequent cleanings.
