Hygiene

At Haywood Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe that maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for achieving and maintaining a healthy smile. Professional teeth cleanings and personalized hygiene treatment plans are vital in preventing dental issues and preserving your oral health. Our team is here to guide you through the importance of dental hygiene and can help you achieve your oral health goals.

The Importance of Professional Teeth Cleanings

Professional teeth cleanings performed by our skilled dental hygienists are a cornerstone of preventive dental care. During these appointments, we thoroughly remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth and gums, which cannot be achieved through brushing and flossing alone. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease, cavities, and other dental issues, ensuring your smile stays healthy and beautiful.

Personalized Hygiene Treatment Plans

Every patient has unique oral health needs and concerns, so we offer personalized hygiene treatment plans tailored to your individual needs and goals. During your visit, our dental team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health, discuss any concerns you may have, and create a customized plan to address your specific needs.

Dental Hygiene Tips and Education

In addition to professional cleanings, maintaining good oral hygiene at home is essential for preserving your smile between visits. Practicing these habits can ensure you get the nod of approval from our dentist every time you visit our office:

• Brush your teeth twice daily using the proper techniques
• Floss once daily, preferably before bed
• Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains to support overall oral health
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help rinse away food particles and keep your mouth hydrated
• Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months or as recommended by your dentist
