We know that Dental Hygiene is more than just keeping your teeth clean. Our goal is to Prevent dental problems from starting with good oral hygiene! While regular home maintenance is important, it only focuses on areas of the teeth that are above the gumline (called Scaling). A professional cleaning can clean your teeth not only above the gum line, but below the gum line as well (called root planing). It is only through regular scaling and root planing that tartar, plaque, and bacterial toxins can be effectively removed from hard-to-reach places that home care cannot reach. At Nosehill Dental, our team is dedicated to keeping your oral health in the best condition possible.

Regular Dental Check-ups and Professional Teeth Cleanings Help Maintain Optimal Oral Health!

 You would be surprised at just how effective a professional dental cleaning can be at helping to prevent the development of major dental problems and keeping your teeth and smile clean and healthy. Regular professional maintenance visits help us tackle the stronghold of bacteria in your gums and slow or outright eliminate further destructive effects and more painful procedures down the road.

with Nosehill Dental Clinic in Calgary NW

At Nosehill Dental, we work with you and your family to create a frequent dental hygiene care schedule to help keep those pearly whites looking fresh. Finding convenient appointment times may be difficult for people with busy and active lifestyles, which is why many of our patient’s pre-schedule their upcoming visits. We will send reminders prior to your scheduled appointments, so you will not miss it! A maintenance appointment may include procedures, such as:

• A complete periodontal assessment
• A complete checkup of your gums, checking for any gum recession, the presence of gingivitis and possible gum disease
• Measuring the depth of periodontal pockets
• Checking for loose teeth or bleeding gums
• Removing plaque or tartar above or below the gum line.
  • During your teeth cleaning, we use an ultrasonic scaler consisting of a wand with a small scaling tip, which produces soft ultrasonic vibrations and releases a gentle flow of water. As the tip moves along the tooth surface, it makes quick, small vibrations breaking up plaque and tartar. By giving you a tickling sensation, these vibrations cause millions of microscopic bubbles to form in the water. How cool! The tip of ultrasonic scaling instruments is extremely small, making it a comfortable option and is much less disturbing to gum tissue. Further, a medicated solution may be added to the water to treat any infections or aid in overall healing.
• Fluoride treatment (if chosen) to help prevent cavities from forming and help straighten the surface of your enamel in areas that may be weak
• Digital x-rays (when required)
• Discussing the effectiveness of your home care
• Screening for oral cancer
• Checking tissues of the head, neck, and jaw

Along with removing plaque and stubborn bacteria, our patients can learn a lot about how to make their dental home care even more effective through seeing us on a routine basis. We believe that real change begins with education – that is why we are here! Nosehill Dental will help educate patients on the most appropriate ways to brush and floss, as well as the kinds of foods that cause nasty effects to our teeth.

When it comes to oral hygiene and checkups, every patient is different and will require a different schedule. For most people, once every six months or so is sufficient. Others may benefit from coming in every 3-4 months, while others still may only require a visit every 9 months or even every 12 months. How often you visit the dentist depends on many factors, including whether or not you have crowded teeth, missing teeth, or fillings, all of which can lead to an increase in plaque build-up that may require more frequent visits than someone who does not experience these problems regularly.

We take preventative care to heart and work to ensure that you achieve oral health for life and that your smile remains absolutely beautiful. Nosehill Dental ensures that each patient has access to dental solutions tailored to their specific needs, without exceptions. All of our patients are treated equally and are encouraged to ask questions, seek clarification, and take an active role in their own dental care plan, in order to achieve oral health for life. We can help find a time that works for you and alleviate the pain of having to remember when to come in. Our team is flexible in making appointments that work best for you and your family, always based on your needs and schedules.

Nosehill Dental is committed to helping you and your entire family on the road to optimal oral health.
