Dental Cleanings Las Vegas
Keeping Your Smile Sparklingly Bright & Problem-Free
Everyone over the age of four or five should visit the dentist for a professional hygiene appointment twice per year. In addition to thoroughly cleaning your teeth, our gentle hygienist or Dr. Hejazi will also inspect your gums for periodontal disease, the leading cause of tooth loss for American adults. Regular dental checkups and hygiene appointments with the team at Advent Dental are essential to avoiding advanced cases of tooth decay and gum disease. Instead, our skilled team will help you achieve and maintain the optimal level of oral health. If you haven’t visited a dentist for a dental checkup in six months or longer, it’s time to call our Spring Valley dentist and team to schedule your checkup with the Advent Dental team today. We look forward to helping you maintain your healthiest smile for life.

What to Expect During Your Professional Teeth Cleaning
During your dental hygiene appointment, if needed, we’ll capture diagnostic images to give us a better view of your teeth and oral structures. Then, we’ll carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from the hardest-to-access parts of your teeth, followed by polishing of stains. Even patients who are very careful with their at-home hygiene routines may not be able to completely remove all the plaque and tartar from their teeth. In fact, teeth have numerous small pits and grooves that even a single toothbrush bristle can’t access to remove the plaque. Additionally, these in-depth cleanings allow us to monitor for early warning signs of many oral health concerns, including tooth decay, gum disease, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, teeth grinding and clenching, and oral cancer.

How Your Hygienist Helps Keep Your Smile Healthy
Hygienists and dentists are specially trained to detect, deter, and treat gum disease as well as other oral health concerns. We always prefer to help you maintain optimal oral health so that you never have to worry about treatments for gum disease and other dental health concerns. However, if you develop periodontal problems, we're here to help you. If we find cause for concern, we may recommend that you change your oral healthcare routine or the products you use at home, and our hygienists are skilled in guiding you to help you improve your at-home hygiene routine. For patients who are suffering from mild gum disease, gingivitis, our skilled hygienists may recommend that you visit us more often for professional cleanings. For patients with more advanced gum disease, periodontitis, we may suggest a deep cleaning, which involves:
- Scaling to remove tartar and calculus at and below the gum line.
- A chlorhexidine oral rinse to reduce the number of bacteria.
- PerioProtect, a non-surgical antibiotic and oxidant tray delivery system, is custom made to be used to reduce the amount of oral bacteria at home.
- Localized Arestin antibiotic treatment or an oral doxycycline regimen may be used before the PerioProtect regimen or in conjunction with this treatment.
