Cleanings and Check-Ups in Manhattan
With countless dentists in New York City, it can be difficult to determine who is qualified and trustworthy to handle your family’s general dentistry needs. Group Health Dental in Manhattan can make this significant healthcare decision easy if you’re looking for reliable, reputable, and professional personnel. Not only does our team of talented teeth-cleaning dentists care for patients with years of expertise, but we deliver other comprehensive treatments designed to keep smiles happy and healthy.
Group Health Dental Wants to See You (At Least) Twice a Year
Many patients ask, “How often should I get my teeth cleaned?” Regular dental cleanings are an essential aspect of maintaining good oral health. Brushing and flossing alone cannot remove the plaque and tartar buildup that forms on teeth over time, contributing to tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. That is why getting your teeth cleaned by a dental professional at least twice a year is recommended.
Investing in Regular Dental Care is an Investment in Overall Health and Well-Being
Maintaining a healthy mouth can have a significant impact on your overall health. Regular dental cleanings and exams play a crucial role in preventing a multitude of health issues. Poor oral health has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, among other serious conditions.
Maintaining Oral Health Involves Regular Dental Cleanings and Exams
At routine dental appointments, the Group Health Dental team will examine your teeth and gum tissues thoroughly to look for indications of tooth decay, infection, gum disease, or oral cancer. Your Manhattan dentist may take X-rays during your examination to help uncover issues that may be difficult to observe during a standard exam. For patients over 18, we recommend an annual oral cancer screening which can easily be squeezed into a dental exam.
Although you may be taking excellent care of your smile at home, our team can remove hard-to-reach plaque or tartar buildup during a professional cleaning, significantly reducing your risk of cavities or gum disease. Also, additional anti-cavity services, such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants, work overtime to reduce your chance of contracting tooth decay.
Our team places a high priority on the dental health of our patients. If any problem areas are noticed during your check-up, we will provide you with the treatment you need and resources to prevent the worsening or reoccurrence of the problem. Upon leaving our office, our goal is that our patients will feel closer to our team and more confident about their dental hygiene routine.
