YOUR

Oral Hygiene

Matthew C. Peterson, DMD, PA

IMPLANT DENTIST

Oral Hygiene

Oral hygiene is essentially the maintenance of your teeth, gums and mouth. It is comprised of at-home daily maintenance like brushing and flossing, and regular dental visits. All these are necessary so you can keep your natural teeth for the rest of your life.

ABOUT US

Why Do I Need to See My Dentist?

Visiting your dentist for regular dental cleanings is important because calculus will build up inside your mouth over time. Even if you brush twice a day and floss once a day, it won’t be enough to maintain good oral hygiene. Calculus builds up below the gum line and if not removed, bacteria will grow and multiply. Bacteria will invade the area and lead to a host of dental problems.

Our dental hygienist will gently but thoroughly remove any calculus buildup and eliminate your risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease. Our dental hygienist has over 25 years of experience and is very adept at scraping away hard plaque and calculus.

We will also take X-rays to check if there are any changes to your bite. Then Dr. Peterson will conduct further evaluation of your mouth for signs of gum disease and tooth decay.

Schedule your dental cleanings twice a year to ensure good oral hygiene. Call our office at (941) 926-7726 for your appointment.

Your Teeth Whitening Options

If you require teeth whitening, you have two options: in-office and at-home whitening. The type of whitening we will recommend will depend on the cause of your discoloration and the degree of whitening required. For example, if the cause is medication like tetracycline, we will recommend an in-office treatment because it provides deep bleaching and is therefore more appropriate for deep stains.

In-Office Whitening

If you have deep teeth stains, in-office whitening is the best option for you. We will apply a powerful whitening gel on your teeth to remove stubborn stains. But before the gel is applied, we will apply a protective cream over the soft tissues and gums. Then after the application of the gel, we will use laser to speed up the whitening process. Depending on the severity of the stains, in-office whitening may require more than a single visit to give you the results you want.
