Inside your mouth is a sticky film called plaque, which accumulates continuously and harbors the bacteria responsible for tooth decay and gum disease. While brushing, flossing and limiting your intake of sugary foods and beverages are important components of a complete and effective oral hygiene routine, to completely your home care regimen, it is also important to visit our office for a checkup exam and
Penfield teeth cleaning. Every six months or as required, we clean your teeth to remove any plaque buildup, tartar and food debris from spots your toothbrush cannot reach. We also review your oral hygiene habits to teach you how to brush and floss more effectively at home. For our youngest patients, these checkup visits are essential for establishing a strong foundation for a lifetime of oral health. We also provide our pediatric patients with dental sealants and periodic fluoride treatments, which help protect children’s smiles from developing tooth decay. For patients of all ages, our dentist performs a thorough examination of the teeth, gums and their surrounding anatomy, using advanced digital radiography, as needed. With a focus on prevention and early intervention, we can halt the onset and progress of conditions that may adversely affect your oral health.
At the office of Dr. Gregory Merkley, we emphasize the importance of preventive care to keep your smile healthy and beautiful throughout your life. By visiting us for your biannual
Penfield teeth cleaning and exam, you are taking important steps to protect against tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health problems. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call today.
