What Good Dental Hygiene Looks Like
Professional Cleanings
With the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to miss areas when you’re brushing and flossing at home. Every time you do, plaque and tartar will gradually accumulate. This buildup can lead to bad breath, cavities, and gum disease. During a professional dental cleaning, our skilled hygienists will remove any built-up plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and leave you with a fresher, brighter smile. We also offer scaling and root planing to deep-clean below your gumline and help heal gum disease.
Dental Sealants
The grooves on the chewing surface of your molars are particularly vulnerable to decay, especially in children and teenagers. These areas can trap food particles and bacteria, leading to cavities. With dental sealants, we can provide a thin, protective coating that prevents bacteria and food from settling into these vulnerable areas, keeping your teeth safe from decay.
Periodontal Care
Traditional gum disease treatments can be uncomfortable and time-consuming, but without treatment gum disease can lead to sensitivty, tooth loss, and even heart conditions. We use Perio Protect, a non-surgical procedure that delivers medication deep below your gumline, effectively fighting bacteria and reducing inflammation. You can reap the benefits of gum disease treatment without the inconvenience.
Periodontal Maintenance
After treating your gums for periodontal disease, regular periodontal care is essential to stop gum disease from returning and causing further damage or tooth loss. At Lugoff Smiles, Dr. Sartor will craft a personalized ongoing care schedule to keep your gums healthy and disease-free.
