Healthy Smiles Made Affordable

It’s important to keep your teeth clean every day so you can keep a healthy smile. Visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings are important to schedule to help prevent tooth decay, tooth loss and gum disease.

Why A Checkup Matters

Both parts of a checkup, the checkup and the cleaning, are an essential part of healthy oral hygiene.

The Checkup

During the checkup, your dental hygienist will check your teeth, gums, and mouth for overall oral health.

The Cleaning

There’s nothing better than a freshly cleaned set of teeth. During the cleaning portion of your appointment, your dental professional will give your teeth a deep clean.

This typically means removing any plaque and tartar buildup along with a polish of your teeth.

Post-Checkup

Be sure to take care of your teeth and gums between visits to your dentist. Plaque continues to form on your teeth throughout the day, but you can manage that buildup with regular brushing and flossing. Here are a few tips:

Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Be sure to use a toothpaste that contains fluoride.
Floss daily.
Use a mouthwash to help control plaque bacteria. This will also help to keep your breath fresh.
Don’t brush aggressively – imagine you are lightly polishing an apple and don’t want to bruise it. That’s about the amount of force required to properly srub your teeth.

I've been coming to Choice Family Dental for years now, and the service and professionalism has been nothing but stellar. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate patients, from bumping up appointments when openings occur, to being flexible with scheduling when life gets busy on the patient's end. I've personally been having gum issues, and the dentist and hygienist both recommended a deep cleaning in four quadrants. It took some time to see the wisdom of this suggestion and things eventually worsened. If I had it to do all over again I would have jumped at the opportunity immediately. Despite the delay in my decision, I just completed a deep cleaning that removed a lot of bacteria and tartar buildup. The procedure was painless and quite refreshing. My hygienist, Kelly, is the best. She even recommended that I add water flossing to my daily routine which has been a game changer. Choice Family Dental is highly recommended in Central New York, whatever your level of dental care needs.
