Keeping Your Smile Fresh, Healthy, and Strong
Professional Cleanings
Thorough Care Beyond Brushing and Flossing
Even with good home care, there are areas in the mouth that are difficult to clean on your own. That is why regular professional dental cleanings are so important. At Allison Hill Dental Clinic, our goal is to protect your oral health through gentle yet thorough care. A cleaning involves the removal of plaque and tartar, polishing your teeth, and providing guidance for effective home care.
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that can harden into tartar if left untreated. This buildup can cause inflammation, gum disease, and even tooth and bone loss. Routine cleanings help remove these deposits, protect your gums, and keep your smile healthy. Skipping visits due to discomfort, anxiety, or insurance concerns is common, but maintaining regular cleanings is one of the best steps you can take for your overall health.
Tooth Sensitivity and Fluoride Care
Relief for Sensitive Teeth and Added Protection
If eating ice cream or drinking hot coffee makes your teeth feel uncomfortable, you may be experiencing tooth sensitivity. This can happen due to enamel wear, gum recession, clenching or grinding, or other oral health concerns. At Allison Hill Dental Clinic, we offer desensitizing treatments and fluoride applications that reduce discomfort and strengthen your teeth.
Fluoride is especially helpful for patients at risk of decay or with ongoing sensitivity. It works by protecting tooth enamel, reducing the risk of cavities, and making teeth more resistant to daily wear. These treatments are simple, effective, and can provide long term benefits for both children and adults.
