TEETH CLEANING AND DENTAL HYGIENE
Long Island

Why do we need teeth cleanings? Why are they so important? Here at Shine Dental, we take your oral hygiene very seriously. We inform you of the importance of daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings, so you are aware of the impact your oral health has on the rest of your body and mind. Teeth cleanings have many benefits as you will soon see.

Fresh Breath

Who doesn’t want fresh breath? One of the first impressions people make on one another is when they speak. If all you can do is smell the other person’s foul odor from their mouth, they don’t leave a very good impression on you. Teeth cleaning prevents halitosis, or bad breath, by scraping all the tartar and built-up debris off your molars. The debris is what contributes to the foul odor in your mouth, and by getting regular cleanings, you won’t have to worry about making a good first impression!

Make sure to speak with our trained dentist and staff and let them review all the options with you regarding our dental services, including fresher breath and a whiter smile.

Brighter Smile

One excellent benefit of regular teeth cleanings is a brighter smile. When you have a bright smile, and your teeth feel clean, you automatically smile more. One way to a more dazzling smile is through regular teeth cleanings. Tartar and debris can build up and cause your teeth to look dingy and yellow. If you drink a lot of coffee and wine, the ingredients in the fluid can leave stains on your teeth also causing them to look dull and gray. By coming in for a regular check-up and dental cleaning, your teeth will not have as much time to stain, and the removing of the tartar will brighten them up at least a shade or two. You can also speak with our dentist about our teeth whitening process.

While waiting both before and after your dental cleaning visit, you can lounge in comfort in our modern rooms that are equipped with both flat-screen televisions as well as wi-fi for your enjoyment.

Prevents Cavities

A regular dental cleaning has many advantages, and one of them is the prevention of cavities. A teeth cleaning will scrape off all the built-up tartar and film that resides on teeth. This debris attracts bacteria which then attack the tooth enamel causing cavities and corrosion. A regular dental cleaning will not only keep the grime off your teeth, but it will also allow the dentist to check your teeth to make sure no small cavities have started. If a hole is found, a filling can be performed or scheduled based on your needs.

We do have sedation available for family members that are anxious about their visit. We will work at your pace to keep you comfortable the entire time, and we will give you the smile you always wanted! We also have specialists on staff, as well as an on-site dental lab so all of your general dentistry needs can be met under one roof.

As you can see, teeth cleanings are critical for all members of your family. Not only do they provide fresher breath and a whiter smile, but they also prevent cavities from forming.
