Are you a superstar with your dental hygiene? That’s great! However, maintaining healthy gums still requires professional cleanings to remove tartar and bacteria that build on the teeth despite great brushing and flossing. These cleanings not only help remove buildup but also prevent and treat gum disease. In recent years, the development of ultrasonic scalers has revolutionized dental cleanings, making them gentler and more thorough than ever before. In today’s blog, your Cleveland, TX, dentist discusses the benefits of regular dental cleanings with ultrasonic scalers and how they can contribute to improving your gum health.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums, bones, and other supporting structures around the teeth. It typically begins with inflammation and irritation of the gums (gingivitis) and, if left untreated, can progress to more severe stages. In today’s blog, your Cleveland, TX, dentist discusses this disease and how deep cleanings help restore oral health.
From a young age you are told the importance of keeping up with your oral health with regular preventive care at home, including brushing and flossing.

To the average person working to balance an already hectic schedule, it may seem unnecessary to go to the dentist every six months – especially during the Coronavirus pandemic. It is actually much more necessary than you might expect, however, as your checkup and cleaning serve a vital purpose in detecting and monitoring dental concerns early on. In fact, your Cleveland, TX dentist at Cleveland Family Dentistry encourages attending an exam twice a year, and wants to inform you about what is covered during your visit.
