Dental Cleaning in Yonkers NY
Our
dental cleaning in Yonkers NY is a key aspect of maintaining strong, cavity-free teeth and healthy, vibrant gums. When added to your own oral hygiene efforts at home and a nutritious diet limited in sugar, we at Van Cortlandt Dental can assure you that you are putting the odds in your favor to avoid the worst consequences of tooth decay and gum disease. If you've heard of periodontal cleanings, you might be wondering how they differ from dental cleanings. The simple answer is that dental cleanings prevent the need for periodontal cleanings.
The first stage of gum disease, gingivitis, is typically associated with mild symptoms such as redness or irritation. Just because they are not severe signs does not mean, though, that they should be ignored. Our dental cleaning in Yonkers NY will stop gingivitis from progressing to a more advanced stage. Its effects will also be reversed. In some more stubborn cases, a second round of cleaning might be necessary to achieve the desired results. You will find these cleanings to be largely comfortable. When you think about it, the minimal effort that it takes to come in once every six months is simple enough. This is especially so when you think about what the outcome can be if you don't. Periodontitis is the later stages of gum disease. Common indications include persistent bad breath, receding gums, and bleeding when you brush. It is not uncommon to experience erosion of vital gum and bone tissue. Your teeth may even become loose. The primary treatment for late stage gum disease is a periodontal cleaning. It goes much deeper than our dental cleaning in Yonkers NY; all the way down to your roots. This is necessary, however, in order to get out the plaque and tartar that are causing all the difficulties.
Don't risk the worst of gum disease. Instead, call us right now and arrange a convenient time to come in for a regular
dental cleaning in Yonkers NY.
