Downtown Calgary Dental Hygiene & Teeth Cleanings

Your Trusted Downtown Calgary Choice for Dental Hygiene & Teeth Cleanings!

The foundation of great oral health begins with healthy teeth and gums. While at-home brushing and flossing is important, professional cleanings provide a level of care that simply cannot be maintained at home. Regular professional hygiene appointments are crucial for removing plaque, tartar and bacteria from hard-to-reach areas that at-home hygiene simply cannot address. By removing tartar from around and below your gums we can ensure healthy bone levels (the foundation for your teeth!). With healthy bone levels you can be sure to keep your teeth for a lifetime. Dental at the Bow is pleased to offer professional dental hygiene and teeth cleaning services to help you maintain a healthy smile for years to come. Let Dental at the Bow help keep your teeth and gums healthy and vibrant for a lifetime, with our professional dental hygiene and teeth cleanings!

What Happens During a Dental Hygiene and Teeth Cleaning Appointment?

At Dental at the Bow, our goal is to support your long-term oral health. During your hygiene and teeth cleaning visit, our friendly team begins with a comprehensive review of your medical and dental history, allowing us to understand any changes or concerns you may have. We then carefully examine your teeth and gums, checking for any signs of cavities, gum disease or other issues that may need attention.

Next, our team will perform a professional cleaning that is determined by your specific needs. At Dental at the Bow we know that everyone is different and we strive to provide personalized health care based on your needs. This can include scaling, root planing, irrigation and more. Scaling is a procedure whereby plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) are removed from teeth, both above and below the gum line. Root planing works to smooth the root surfaces of teeth to prevent bone loss in areas where tartar is deeper below the surface. Your comfort is our priority, and we have multiple options for freezing, desensitizing and comfort that our registered dental hygienist will discuss with you. Our thorough cleanings prevent gum disease and cavities by targeting areas that your toothbrush can not reach. Once the cleaning is complete, we will finish with a polishing treatment using a special paste that leaves your teeth feeling smooth and refreshed. If needed, we can also apply a fluoride treatment to offer added protection against decay.

To help you maintain your oral health between visits, we provide personalized guidance on proper at-home brushing and flossing techniques. Regular professional cleanings not only help keep your smile looking great but also help prevent potential oral health issues. Dental at the Bow is here to support you every step of the way, with regular professional dental hygiene and teeth cleaning appointments!

How Often Should You Have a Dental Hygiene and Teeth Cleaning Appointment?

How often to receive a dental hygiene and teeth cleaning appointment really depends on the unique needs of each patient. While most people benefit from cleanings every six months, others may need more frequent visits based on factors like home care habits, genetics, tooth position or past dental concerns. For example, those with gum disease, heavy staining or a higher risk for cavities may require more frequent cleanings to keep their oral health in check. The Dental at the Bow team will work closely with you to create a cleaning schedule that works best for your needs and goals. Whether you need visits every 3-4 months or you can go 9-12 months between appointments, we will help you find the right plan to keep your teeth and gums healthy!
