Whether it’s the first day of school, returning to work, or the beginning of a brand new day, start with a healthy smile! Remember, excellent oral health begins with proper oral care. 

At the office of Brockport Smiles, we encourage patients to come in twice a year for routine checkups and professional cleanings. In this way, we can monitor your oral health, reduce your risk of dental disease, and detect any issues early in their onset when they are typically the simplest to treat. 

Dental plaque: The culprit behind dental disease

The importance of periodic professional dental cleanings cannot be overstated! Dental plaque, that sticky substance that accumulates around your teeth and gums, harbors the bacteria responsible for cavities and gum disease. Unless removed on a daily basis, it continues to build up and eventually harden into tartar, which is even more difficult to remove. While those who don’t brush or floss daily will see a significant plaque build up over time, even those with the best oral hygiene routines can’t reach every nook and cranny between the teeth and gums.

Our hygiene team keeps your smile clean!

As valued professional team members, our warm, friendly, and skilled hygienists enjoy helping patients of all ages keep their smiles healthy and bright! In addition to performing cleanings to remove any accumulated plaque or tartar, they also polish the teeth to leave your smile looking and feeling clean and fresh. 

Our hygienists also view cleaning visits as an opportunity to educate patients on the best oral hygiene homecare methods and routines to maintain a healthy smile. They take the time to explain and demonstrate proper techniques for brushing, flossing, and other oral care practices so that patients have all the resources they need to maintain excellent hygiene at home. 

Enjoy the benefits of good oral health

While we understand that life gets busy, just as the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” With professional dental cleanings and routine checkups from the office of Brockport Smiles, we can help you and every member of your family establish a strong foundation for a lifetime of good oral health.
