Benefits of
professional dental hygiene
As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is particularly true when it comes to your oral health. Good oral hygiene habits can help prevent a host of dental problems, from cavities to gum disease. Regular visits to the dentist for oral hygiene cleanings can help keep your teeth and gums healthy and catch any issues early on. Check out these blurbs to learn more about the benefits of oral dental hygiene.
Fresher Breath
Regular oral hygiene cleanings help remove bacteria and food particles that cause bad breath, leaving you with fresher breath.
Prevent Cavities
Oral hygiene cleanings remove plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that can cause tooth decay and cavities.
Gum Disease Prevention: Good oral hygiene practices can help prevent gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss and other health problems.
Better Overall Health
Poor oral health has been linked to a range of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Good oral hygiene practices can help promote better overall health.
Cost Savings
Preventative care is often less expensive than treating dental problems that have been allowed to progress. Regular oral hygiene cleanings can help you avoid costly dental treatments down the road.
Is oral hygiene right for you?
The short answer is yes! But how can you be sure you are doing everything to have the best smile possible? At-home dental care is essential to your health, but it is also important that you see your dentist for professional preventive-care services like teeth cleaning, periodontal treatments, fluoride treatments, and sealants.
Soundview Family Dental is happy to offer these services, to fully serve our patients’ oral hygiene needs and protect their teeth for the long term.
Prevent the Preventable
Does the thought of having a root canal seem frightening? Are you not looking forward to replacing missing teeth? While genetics does play a role in the quality and health of our teeth, so does how you maintain them.
With brushing, flossing, and rinsing at home, matched with having a great dental office for oral hygiene services, many of these extensive services can be prevented.

Teeth Cleanings
Professional cleanings remove built-up plaque and tartar, which can’t be done with at-home care. Tartar can’t be removed with brushing, and can only be removed with professional tools. During a cleaning, our hygienists will go over each tooth, removing any build-up. They will get between the teeth and under the gum line to restore the condition of the teeth.
Periodontics
At our dental office, we will remove any debris or buildup in the pockets so that bacteria won’t destroy the gum and jawbone. These treatments are extremely beneficial and are highly recommended to those that present with red gums, those that bleed when brushing, or those that aren’t avid flossers.
Fluoride
Healthy teeth for life
