Teeth cleaning in West Hartford
Dental Office in West Hartford
Can you remember the last time you had a professional teeth cleaning at the dentist? If not, it is probably high time that you visited our dentist for a great teeth cleaning. Not only will a teeth cleaning keep your teeth cavity free but it will also help your gums to stay healthy as well. When you need to find a great dental office in West Hartford, come visit us at the office of Oscar Gonzalez D.D.S.
It is generally recommended that you have a teeth cleaning every six months, or possibly even more frequently if you have a particular medical condition or known gum problem. Our dental office in West Hartford is happy to have the services of two expert dentists. They are: Dr. Oscar Gonzalez and Dr. Sueyoung Chi. Even if you brush and floss your teeth on a regular basis it is very important that you have periodic dental cleanings. Regular at-home dental care is very important. However even the best of at-home care will leave some plaque and bacteria on the teeth. When plaque stays on teeth it hardens and turns into tartar. Tartar is a hard, mineralized substance that cannot removed by brushing no matter how hard you try; it must be removed with the use of professional dental instruments.
If tartar is not removed by our dental office in West Hartford, it will begin to help form deep pockets between the teeth and gums. Tartar, plaque, bacteria and food debris will collect in these pockets and infection will develop. This infection is known as gum disease. The infection can go down to the jawbone and cause your teeth to loosen and fall out. Even worse, the infection can spread to other parts of your mouth or even to other parts of your body. These infections can become very serious to your overall health. However, the good news is that gum disease is generally easy to prevent with professional teeth cleanings. And, if you have gum disease, there are many treatment options that are available and will help restore your gums to good health. The key is to come in to our office for treatment so that we can get started in making your gums healthy again. If you would like an appointment to see our expert dentist, contact us today.
