While the importance of regularly brushing and flossing at home cannot be stressed enough, it’s also vital to your dental health that you receive regular professional teeth cleaning from your dentist. A dental procedure designed to remove the tartar that can develop even with careful brushing and flossing, professional dental cleanings checkups Etobicoke will help reduce your risk of getting cavities and oral diseases.

Plaque and tartar generally build up in areas that are difficult to reach with routine tooth brushing; however, dentists and dental hygienists use special tools that can get these hard to reach places. At Silverhill Dental Clinic, we offer professional teeth cleaning to ensure plaque and tartar are efficiently and effectively removed from your teeth.

It’s a good practice to visit your family dentist a couple of times a year.
These visits provide an additional level of preventative care that cannot be
obtained by simply brushing and flossing regularly.

During these appointments, our dental hygienist will clean your teeth by removing tartar build-up.
They will also polish the surface of your teeth to remove surface stains.
Fluoride treatment is also available for the prevention of cavities.

These appointments allow us to screen for any unusual developmental patterns in your children early and answer your questions specifically pertaining to your children. If we discover nothing unusual about their development, these appointments allow your children to have “good” experiences at the dental office. If and when they do require treatment beyond the regular dental check-ups, they are at least familiar with the surroundings of the dental office, have developed a level of trust with the dentist and staff, and know from previous experiences that they will be treated well. Dental treatment is often much more difficult in unfamiliar surroundings and provided by strangers when your children are already in discomfort.

Silverhill Dental firmly believe that your oral health directly affects your overall health and we are ready to take care of any of your dental problems.

• Any softening of the tooth enamel or exposed dentine that signals the start of a cavity
• Any existing cavity will be identified.
• The dentist will be checking for any swelling or discolouring of the gums which will signal impending gum disease or periodontitis. If the swelling is severe, the dentist will probably prescribe a course of antibiotics to deal with the infection. Dentists also give you advice about improving your teeth cleaning techniques, tailoring the advice in the light of what is going on in your mouth.
• Dentists are also trained to check for for any abnormal discolouration of oral tissue or suspicious lumps and swellings. These are early warning signs of oral cancer. If anything suspicious is found, your dentist will recommend follow-up treatment, which might include a biopsy to determine whether there is oral cancer or not.
• X-rays will be taken to check the underlying jaw bone and the portion of the tooth not visible to the naked eye. Again, this will help to identify any developing problems such as bone loss.
