Dentist office in Moorestown

Moorestown teeth cleaning

We understand that you have a busy life and that your schedule is full, but the importance of check up visits here at Pleasant Valley Family Dentistry cannot be overemphasized. Tooth decay and gum disease are preventable, and when you you make the commitment to visit us every six months, you put the odds in your favor to make sure that you are able to avoid the worst consequences of those oral health issues.

Our Moorestown teeth cleaning is designed to perform two functions. First, it eliminates tartar buildup and any residual plaque still on or between your teeth. In addition, if you are showing any signs of early stage gum disease, gingivitis, then those effects will be reversed and gum disease will not progress any further. Plaque is a bacterial substance that is like a film. You can feel it when you wake up. It’s what causes morning breath. When it is allowed to remain for too long, meaning when your toothbrush and dental floss cannot reach it, plaque then becomes tartar, which is a hardened and crusty form that cannot be addressed effectively with at-home oral hygiene. For that, you need our Moorestown teeth cleaning. Ridding yourself of tartar and plaque is like starting all over again, and the chances of future tooth decay and gum disease will be reduced. Consider that without your twice-yearly checkup, gum disease could reach the advanced stage of periodontitis, which means symptoms such as persistent bad breath, bleeding when you brush, receding gums, and even the loss of gum and bone tissue due to infection. If your gums cease to be a dependable foundation for your teeth, those teeth can become loose as a a result. Add to that the fact that any cavities found at your checkup should be filled promptly, and it makes perfect sense to come in.
