Sparkling Benefits: The Magic of Regular Dental Cleanings

Unleash the Power of a Radiant Smile
At Gresham Family Dentistry, we believe every smile deserves to shine its brightest. Regular dental cleanings are not just a routine check-up but a proactive step towards a healthier, happier you. Discover how this simple practice can transform your oral health and overall well-being.
Prevent Cavities
You’ve probably noticed the whitish film that sometimes builds up along your teeth. This is called plaque and, left unattended, can lead to cavities. Plaque is the leading cause of tooth decay. It is an acidic substance that eats away at the tooth enamel. It can easily be removed, however, with brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings.
Stop Tooth Loss
Built-up plaque can also lead to gum disease, which is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Advanced gum disease is when the plaque begins to move further down the tooth to where it can destroy the supporting bone in your jaw. This causes teeth to loosen and fall out. The chances of this happening are greatly reduced through regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene habits.
Brighten Your Smile
Teeth can become stained easily from drinking coffee, tea, or wine, or through the use of tobacco products. Dental cleaning can remove built-up stains, leaving you with freshly polished teeth.
Freshen Your Breath
Even if you brush and floss regularly, getting a dental cleaning is a great way to keep your mouth healthy and protect against odors.
Boost Overall Health
Your dental health is linked with your overall health. Regular dental cleanings may help lower your risk for some diseases, like heart disease and stroke. Dentists can even detect the beginning of medical conditions, sometimes life-threatening medical conditions, during a routine oral exam.
Save Money
With the use of insurances such as Delta Dental plans, you can receive cleanings and exams with a low copayment or no copayment. By protecting your oral health, you can save more money in the long run by avoiding more costly and extensive procedures.
