Dental Hygiene
SE Calgary

Healthy teeth and gums are the cornerstone of a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile! That is why Lynnwood Dental is pleased to offer dental hygiene appointments to help you achieve the optimal oral health you desire. While regular home care is very important, it focuses on areas of the teeth above the gum line (called scaling.) A professional dental cleaning cleans your teeth not only above the gum line, but also the area below the gum (called root planing) that you cannot reach at home. It is only through regular root planing and scaling that tartar, plaque, and bacteria can be fully removed from hard-to-reach areas below the gumline. Regular professional cleanings can help keep your teeth and gums healthy from top to bottom! Let Lynnwood Dental help you achieve optimal oral health and wellness with regular dental hygiene and teeth cleaning appointments.

Regular Hygiene and Teeth Cleanings Help Maintain Optimal Oral Health!

• Fluoride treatment (if desired)
  After your dental cleaning, you will be provided with the option to receive fluoride treatment. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen the enamel (outer layer of your teeth) and prevent cavities from forming
• Digital X-rays when required
  Radiography helps us detect cavities in between teeth, assess bone levels, and detect other possible problems within the oral cavity. Your dentist will decide what type of images are needed and how often you need them based on your oral health examination.
  Research shows that radiation received from digital X-ray machines is less than the radiation you receive from naturally occurring background sources. Lynnwood Dental also makes sure to follow the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) policy
• Sealants (if chosen)
  Sealants are protective coatings that are applied on the deep grooves of back teeth to prevent cavity formation in the future. Applying sealants is a quick, simple, painless procedure
