CLEANINGS

We all know that our dental health is crucial and that regular consultations and cleanings are a vital part of our overall oral care. Then why is it that we often put off visiting the dentist for our scheduled appointments?

Part of it could be that you’ve been disappointed in the past, perhaps by an overly-aggressive cleaning or being scolded about your oral health maintenance. At Bay Dental, these are common stories we’ve heard from meeting new patients over the years when we’ve asked why they don’t keep up with their regular hygiene exams.

The goal at our Vancouver dental practice is simply to provide you with expert cleaning services and ensure that your oral health is being well-maintained. Our cleaning services are extremely gentle and we take the time to address any concerns you may have. We work hard to remove hazardous bacteria that can produce toxins in your mouth and can enter into your bloodstream. This is the major goal in supporting your general systemic health.

The primary function of a dental cleaning appointment is the prevention of cavities, gingivitis, and gum illness. Regular dental cleanings are the cornerstone for a lifetime of dental health.

Your appointment will consist of a dental examination and the following:

• Tartar removal (above and below the gum line)
• Plaque elimination (which causes tooth decay and periodontal disease)
• Teeth polishing (to remove stains and plaque that have been missed during brushing and scaling.)

At Bay Dental, we pride ourselves on supplying the gentlest form of dental care. You will not leave your scheduled appointment feeling worse than when you arrived—you’ll feel better! Our professional team members are trained to make use of the most reliable and effective strategies for performing a cleaning.

Oftentimes, when you experience pain during a dental cleaning, it’s the result of poor routine maintenance! Try to think about Bay Dental as your personal dental group; our dental professionals, hygienists, and assistants are all collaborating to provide you with the ultimate in dental care. The more you keep up with maintenance, the less likely you’ll need to see us down the road for more major concerns, so we’re watching out for you in the long run!

And trust us, there will be no finger wagging or lecturing, just experienced tips and queries about your oral health regimen.
