Comprehensive Oral Care

Our Hygiene Team has over 50 collective years of experience treating patients of all ages. Based on your periodontal health and needs, cleanings may be recommended every 3, 4, or 6 months. Every day our teeth are accumulating a colorless film called plaque. Plaque is the result of bacteria mixing with saliva and the foods and beverages we consume. Daily brushing and flossing can help remove some of the plaque; however, over time, despite our best efforts, the plaque will accumulate. If the plaque is not carefully removed it will harden into a rough substance called tarter (or calculus). Tarter can take a toll on oral health and can lead to gum disease (periodontal disease), cavities, infections, and in later stages bone loss and eventually tooth loss. Routine cleanings, paired with a comprehensive oral exam by Dr. Groom will help keep your teeth and gums healthy. Additionally, it will allow for early detection of any problem areas. Catching a cavity in the early stages gives time to treat the tooth with conservative methods. Likewise, early detection of gum disease can help save your teeth in the long run. Our hygiene team is happy to answer your oral care questions and provide you and your family with information and education about brushing, flossing, oral care products, teeth whitening, fluoride, periodontal disease and prevention, and much more.
