CLEANING & EXAMS

Laser dental cleaning works just as well as traditional tools but without all the traditional loud and pointy tools you don’t like. They’re the least invasive form of teeth cleaning, and there’s less of a chance for bleeding or inflammation to occur. If you prefer your hygienist work with lasers, let us know and we’ll be happy to accommodate you.

You should get a deep cleaning as often as your dentist recommends. Because it can only treat, not cure gum disease, regular cleanings are necessary to properly maintain and contain your periodontal disease. Otherwise the infection can spread to cause bone and tooth loss.

Because deep cleanings go further than your normal teeth cleaning, it can be slightly uncomfortable. However, we pride ourselves on our gentle dental care. To make sure you’re never less than completely at ease, we’ll prepare you with an anesthetic that will numb your gums and make the entire process painless. If you’re nervous, we can administer a light sedation like laughing gas that will keep both your mind and body relaxed.

Oral health does affect your overall health! Not only can early symptoms of diseases like diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis first start in your mouth, but bad oral hygiene has been linked to causing heart disease, strokes, pneumonia, and complications during pregnancy.

No. Even with a deep cleaning, you can rest assured that your teeth will stay safely rooted to your mouth. It only cleans your teeth of plaque and tartar below the gum line. However, periodontal disease, which deep cleanings help prevent, can cause tooth decay that’s severe enough to loosen your teeth or, worse, fall out!

Absolutely! At Nu Dentistry, we aim to maximize the value of each visit. Alongside your regular cleaning, we offer additional preventative services like laser cleanings and fluoride treatments. Laser cleanings can provide a more thorough removal of plaque and bacteria, enhancing your oral health. Fluoride treatments are another excellent option, helping to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. These services complement your cleaning, contributing to the overall health and longevity of your smile.
