The team at Five Parks Dental is pleased to celebrate Dental Hygiene Month every October. Of course, this is the month of Halloween—treats and sweets—so it’s the perfect time to remind you to take extra special care of your teeth and gums.
The American Dental Hygienists Association and Colgate come together every year to celebrate healthy smiles.
The Importance of Oral Hygiene
Oral Hygiene is a collaborative effort between you and your hygienist and a way to help you maintain a healthy smile for life.
Regular dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings can mitigate many risks, including tooth decay, gingivitis, oral infections, and gum disease.
The best course is to visit your Arvada dentist every six months. These appointments involve oral exams, oral cancer screenings, periodic x-rays, and the all-important professional teeth cleaning.
For your part, we recommend brushing and flossing after every meal or at least twice daily.
What to Expect at Your Next Teeth Cleaning in Arvada, CO
Teeth cleanings are non-invasive and even relaxing. Your hygienist clears debris from your teeth, including between teeth and in hard-to-reach areas. After cleaning, we polish your teeth and may do a fluoride treatment.
Your hygienist will also share any issues with you. For example, if you’re missing specific areas with your toothbrush and dental floss. We also set aside time to share information with you, like tips for at-home brushing and flossing and nutrition information; your hygienist is always happy to answer your questions.
