Dental Cleanings at Bucktown Wicker Park Dental

Maintain a Healthy and Bright Smile

Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health. At Bucktown Wicker Park Dental, we provide thorough and professional cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Located in the vibrant neighborhoods of Bucktown and Wicker Park in Chicago, our practice is dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain a beautiful smile.

The Importance of Regular Dental Cleanings

Routine cleanings are vital for several reasons:

• Plaque and Tartar Removal: Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth. Professional cleanings remove these deposits, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
• Preventing Gum Disease: Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease by removing plaque and tartar that can cause inflammation and infection.
• Early Detection of Issues: During your cleaning, our dentists will examine your mouth for signs of dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. Early detection allows for prompt treatment and better outcomes.
• Maintaining Fresh Breath: Removing plaque and tartar can help eliminate bad breath caused by bacteria buildup.
• Enhancing Your Smile: Clean teeth look brighter and more attractive, giving you the confidence to smile proudly.

What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning

At Bucktown Wicker Park Dental, our dental cleanings are comprehensive and gentle. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

Thorough Examination

Before the cleaning begins, our dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. This includes checking for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. If any problems are detected, we will discuss the best treatment options with you.

Professional Cleaning

Our dental hygienist will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. This process includes:

• Scaling: Removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and below the gumline.
• Polishing: Using a special paste to polish your teeth, removing surface stains and leaving your teeth smooth and shiny.
• Flossing: Flossing between your teeth to remove any remaining debris and plaque.

Fluoride Treatment

For added protection against cavities, we may recommend a fluoride treatment. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and can significantly reduce the risk of decay.

Personalized Oral Hygiene Advice

After your cleaning, our team will provide personalized advice on how to maintain your oral health at home. This includes tips on brushing, flossing, and dietary recommendations to keep your teeth and gums healthy between visits.
