Dental Hygiene and Cleaning in Markham

The best way to maintain your oral health is with dental cleaning and scaling appointments to ensure a bright and beautiful smile. Our Markham dental team will provide professional dental care to not only deep clean your teeth but also to examine your oral health condition for any signs of oral diseases at our Markham dental office.

A typical appointment at Markham Dental Solutions will consist of your hygienist scaling your teeth and clearing any plaque, tartar, and other debris that may be present around your teeth and gums.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is known to be when plaque, a bacterial film, builds up and your gums become inflamed or infected. When plaque accumulates and hardens, it turns into calculus, otherwise known as tartar. Tartar can irritate your gums and cause swelling, bleeding, and gum recession. If these issues progress, gum disease can lead to other issues such as bone recession and teeth loss. Gum disease has also been associated with increased risks of stroke, heart disease, respiratory issues, osteoporosis, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and dementia. Professional dental cleanings can remove tartar buildup that your daily routine cannot clean.

The Importance of Dental Hygiene

Dental hygiene appointments are important to not only stay on top of your oral health but to also check for any underlying issues to prevent future problems. Regular dental appointments have some great benefits which include:

• Prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental conditions
• A professional cleaning will deep clean areas where brushing your teeth and flossing may not be able to reach
• Improve your sense of taste
• Freshen up your breath

Remember that daily brushing and flossing should be maintained to minimize the amount of plaque and bacteria build-up.
