Regular dental cleanings and checkups are fundamental in the maintenance of optimal oral health and the prevention of future dental issues.
Early Detection
Checkups can lead to the early detection of oral health problems, which can help you save time, money, and avoid discomfort in the long run.
Oral Health Maintenance
Consistent visits to your dentist help maintain overall oral health and can prevent the need for more extensive and costly treatments.
Gum Disease Prevention
Cleanings help to prevent gum disease from developing, which has been linked to heart disease and stroke.
Tooth Loss Reduction
Regular cleanings reduce the risk of tooth loss as you age.
Boosted Overall Health
Good oral hygiene can be associated with a reduction in the risk of certain chronic diseases.
A study presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2011 discovered that patients who had their teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year had a 24% lower risk of heart disease than those with fewer cleanings. Source: Science Daily.
How plaque on your teeth may be connected to plaque in your arteries.
According to Harvard Health, there’s a growing suspicion that gum disease may be an independent risk factor for heart disease. According to the Canadian Dental Association, research is increasingly showing that there might exist a link between oral disease and other health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Why Regular Dental Cleanings and Checkups are Essential
- Routine dental cleanings and checkups are essential for patients of every age group, including our youngest smiles.
- Professional cleanings play a pivotal role in eliminating the buildup that naturally occurs on teeth and gums, despite our best efforts at brushing and flossing at home. This includes maintenance and care of our dental restorations.
- While regular brushing and flossing at home are crucial, they can sometimes miss spots, allowing plaque to harden into tartar, a substance too stubborn to be removed by routine home care.
- At Dr. Serene Yu Dentistry, our gentle yet effective professional cleanings ensure that every nook and cranny of the teeth and gumline is free from these accumulations.
- For our younger patients, a visit to our Nepean office isn’t just about getting a cleaning; it’s an opportunity for growth and learning. As children reach the appropriate age, their cleaning appointment becomes a valuable lesson in oral health. Our friendly dental hygienists specialize in making oral hygiene education accessible and engaging for kids, empowering them with the knowledge to fend off dental caries and gum disease.
