Family Dentists serving Scottsdale and Phoenix AZ

Oral health matters right?

All you need is an apple a day. . . oh wait, that’s for a different type of doctor.

So maybe just teeth brushing and flossing, and you’re all set right?

Not quite . . .

At Princess Center Dentistry, your oral health matters to us.

That is why, we are here to talk about the importance of teeth cleaning!

Many people often want to know how much does a dental cleaning cost?

Or

How long does a teeth cleaning take?

These are good questions to have!

However, before we go into answers  . . .

See a Dentist to Avoid a Heart Attack

 

Did you know that studies have shown that there is a connection between gum disease and cardiovascular disease.

Teeth cleaning can help you detect any dental problems early, as well as other health conditions.

That means that when you choose to get your teeth cleaned regularly not only are you protecting your gums and teeth — you are also helping to prevent conditions like:

  • Stroke
  • Heart attack
  • Oral cancer

All while helping to maintain overall good physical health.

It’s a win-win.

How so?

Regular teeth cleaning also comes with the following benefits:

  1. Stains: Are kept at bay and teeth are visibly brighter and whiter
  2. Oral disease: Gum disease, tooth loss,  plaque, and cavities or tooth decay are less likely to be an issue
  3. Odor and smells: Bad breath does not have to be a concern, as a clean mouth is a fresh mouth.
  4. Covered: Low cost as teeth cleaning is often covered by many dental insurance plans

Speaking of insurance, we will get into teeth cleaning costs in just a minute . . .

However, we keep talking about regular teeth cleaning. What does that even mean?

How Often Should you Get a Cleaning at the Dentist?

 

Many people often want to know, is it bad to get your teeth cleaned too often?

The goal with teeth cleaning is healthy teeth and gums.

Regular teeth cleaning is often recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA) at six month intruvults for all children, adults and seniors alike.

And yet recently, a study was conducted to find out if biannual or annual teeth cleaning was the best frequency of teeth cleaning for oral health.

So, do you really need to see the dentist every six months?

At Princess Center Dentistry we value the oral health of each person who walks through the door.

And every person has a different overall health history.

There are two risk-levels for oral health issues:

  • Low: 1-2 teeth cleanings a year or every six months.
  • High: 3-4 teeth cleanings a year or every three to four months

There are seven factors that might place a person in the right-risk level:

  1. Smoke
  2. Prior diagnosis of gum disease
  3. Diabetes
  4. Have a compromised immune system
  5. Prone to bacterial infections
  6. Have a past history of plaque build up
  7. Prone to cavities

Still, trying to decide what teeth cleaning schedule will be best for your overall health?

Give us a call at Princess Center Dentistry, and make an appointment, to discuss what teeth cleaning schedule may be best for you.
