When it comes to your New Year’s resolutions, don’t forget to put your oral health on the list! Our Denver Restorative Dentistry team in Bloomfield, CO, specializes in providing high-quality dental restorations that can complete your smile. But we also work with you to keep your smile as healthy as possible to prevent dental damage.

We are committed to helping your teeth and gums stay healthy and strong all year round. Our comprehensive dental cleanings and exams are simple but essential treatments for keeping your smile safe. When you come in for a dental checkup, our skilled dental hygienists will take good care of you. You can count on receiving a professional teeth cleaning that will leave your teeth smooth and gleaming. You will also receive a thorough dental exam from our experienced prosthodontists to make sure your oral health is optimal. During your teeth cleaning appointment, you can look forward to the following treatment.

Routine Dental Cleaning and Exam

-Our hygienist will remove all the plaque or tartar (dental calculus) from your teeth and below the gumline to prevent tooth decay and gum disease from taking hold.

-Your pearly whites will then be thoroughly flossed and polished to make them shine.

-Our prosthodontists will examine your mouth to spot any harmful dental problems that might be developing.

-We may use dental X-rays to evaluate your smile more intensively to detect issues that might not be visible with a visual inspection.

Our biannual dental cleanings allow us to maximize your preventative dental care regularly. These routine dental cleanings and exams are one of the most valuable ways to help you keep your smile healthy. The goal is to help you prevent tooth-destroying cavities and advancing gum disease (periodontal disease). These regular checkups are designed to spot problems early so they can be treated before they permanently damage teeth and gums and while treatment is least invasive and costly.

Schedule Your Dental Cleaning and Exam

Completing your at-home dental care with daily brushing and flossing, our dental cleanings and exams are two of the most basic yet vital preventive treatments we provide for you. Each time you come in for your dental cleaning and checkup, you can expect a clean bill of health or the information you need to achieve that goal. This New Year’s, be sure to put your smile on the list of resolutions so your smile can continue to serve you well in the years to come!

Please call 303-586-1019 or Schedule an appointment on our online portal for your next cleaning and exam. Drs. Goggins, Aguirre, Pitz, Poineal or Chertok look.

Because you routinely come in for dental cleanings and exams, it can be easy to forget why these visits are so important if your teeth are in great shape. But for keeping your teeth and gums healthy and strong, it’s vital to see us regularly and not just take good oral health for granted! 

A healthy beautiful smile starts in the home and with those biannual cleanings. Along with your daily brushing and flossing routine to remove harmful plaque, those professional dental cleanings are the only way to remove tartar buildup (made from hardened plaque) that can otherwise lead to cavities and gum disease. 

Fact: The leading cause of tooth loss is periodontal disease. Catching it early means it can often be reversed though lost gum tissue doesn’t regenerate.

When you come in for your cleanings, you can look forward to the following:

Our dental skilled dental hygienists will use special tools to floss and polish your pearly whites after removing tartar buildup around the teeth and gum line to prevent tooth enamel loss, allowing tooth decay and gum disease to gain a foothold.

Our experienced prosthodontists will give your smile a comprehensive exam to see if there are any developing problems while they are still in their early stages and least invasive to treat. Dental X-rays are also taken yearly to detect problems that can’t be seen with the eye alone. 

If it is time for your next dental checkup, be sure to come in to stay on top of your oral health game. If you haven’t scheduled a cleaning lately, it’s time to make sure that happens. You can call 303-586-1019 or schedule your appointment with our prosthodontists in Broomfield, Colorado, online. Our Denver Restorative Dentistry team, led by Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre and Dr. Anna Pitz can make your dental cleaning comfortable and your teeth shine!

At Denver Restorative Dentistry in Broomfield, Colorado, our dentists, Taylor Goggins and D. Brian Aguirre are pleased to support your efforts to achieve strong oral health for a lifetime of smiles. Let’s look at four things you can do to keep your smile healthier.

 #1 Dental Flossing

Brushing only cleans 50% of your tooth surfaces, because 50% of the harmful bacteria in your mouth accumulate between the teeth where the teeth meet because your toothbrush can’t reach those areas. This is where flossing comes as it can clean between the teeth and along the gumline, effectively fighting off cavities and gum disease from harming your smile.

 #2 Daily Habits

What habits do you have that show up in your smile? The condition of your teeth and gums reveal the following:

  • If you are a regular soda, coffee, tea or wine drinker.
  • Whether you are having excess stress in your life.
  • If you are eating a nutrient-poor diet.
  • If you have an eating disorder.
  • If you use tobacco or drink alcohol excessively.

Clues that give away your daily habits include tooth stains and discoloration, tooth enamel erosion from acid, bruxism (teeth grinding), dry mouth, halitosis, and even various medical conditions such as diabetes and pregnancy can be revealed by looking at your oral health.

#3 Dental Anxiety

You might be experiencing dental anxiety if you avoid dental visits because you are afraid of experiencing pain during a procedure, or you feel nervous about having someone working in your mouth. Whatever your reason, thanks to modern advances in dental sedation, you can have the care you need in a comfortable, relaxing environment. Whether relief comes in the form of taking a pill, breathing in nitrous oxide, inhaling anesthesia, or using numbing agents, you can get the help you need to have a pleasant treatment.

#4 Dental Visits

When you come in for a dental cleaning and exam, dental issues will be detected while they are still easy and economical to treat and hardened dental plaque will be removed, which can cause tooth decay and gum disease if ignored. Both gum disease and early tooth decay are unnoticeable until they cause pain, and by then, some damage has been one.

To keep your smile healthy, eat a balanced diet, brush, and floss daily, and see your dentist regularly. To schedule your next visit with our team, please call 303-586-1019 to give your smile the care it deserves!
