Teeth Cleaning in Kelowna
Dental Checkups
Regular dental cleanings are one of the best things you can do for your teeth, even if the only time you ever floss is when we do it for you (you know who you are). Here at Knox Mountain Dentistry, we believe prevention is the best means of maintaining a healthy smile and a healthy patient, so we spend a lot of time discussing this. We’re not here to give you a hard time; we just want to keep you smiling.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is critical for preventing tooth decay and promoting oral health. Our comprehensive teeth cleaning in Kelowna services are designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy and free from harmful buildup.
Why Is Regular Dental Care Important?
Daily brushing and flossing are critical, but they don’t always reach all the surfaces of your teeth, especially near the gum line. Over time, plaque will build up and harden into tartar, which can lead to decay and gum disease if left untreated. Professional cleanings remove this buildup to keep your teeth looking their best while protecting your oral health.
Our cleanings also include a fluoride treatment, which helps to strengthen your enamel and reduce the risk of cavities. Regular cleanings help to ensure your teeth stay healthy, reducing the chances of developing more serious dental issues.
Our dental office offers a full line of preventative services, including:
- Professional teeth cleanings to remove plaque and tartar and polish your teeth
- Periodontal (gum) assessment, including a check for active or past gum disease
- Topical fluoride treatment
- Oral hygiene instructions, including brushing and flossing
- Recommendation of specific dental products as needed
- Routine dental check-ups with Dr. Sanders
- Complete extra-oral and intra-oral soft and hard tissue examination
- Oral cancer screening
- Digital x-rays to assess for cavities
- Fissure sealants to help prevent cavities
- Recommendation of a night guard or sports guard when appropriate
Comprehensive Oral Health Care
During your teeth cleaning appointment, our team will also conduct an oral examination to look out for signs of oral cancer, tooth decay, and other potential concerns. Early detection of serious issues is key to maintaining long-term oral health. Regular dental checkups allow us to track your oral health closely over time and provide treatments as needed.
