AFFORDABLE DENTAL CLEANING
IN HOUSTON, TX

Keep your smile bright and healthy with a gentle dental cleaning at Dentist Tree of the Heights!

A beautiful smile doesn’t simply happen on its own. It requires amazing dental health—and the diligent dental hygiene habits that come with it. Oral hygiene isn’t simply brushing and flossing your teeth, though those are definitely important. As thorough as your routine may be, bacteria and decay can still collect on your teeth over time and lead to several painful problems. Regular dental cleaning and exam appointments are essential for clearing this buildup and keeping your natural smile in great shape! Plus, they act like natural teeth whitening to remove surface-level staining.

Here at Dentist Tree of the Heights, our dentists are wholly committed to your total oral health. We make sure our passion and expertise shine through in your smile with your dental hygiene appointment. With us, you can rest easy knowing that your treatment will be comfortable and smooth-sailing from the moment you walk through our front doors. We even have a special rinse prepared for patients with sensitive teeth to ensure you always have an amazing experience.

Trust us to stop gum disease or a tooth cavity before they appear, and we can quickly and painlessly treat any that already have. At our state-of-the-art dental clinic, we use the latest technologies to ensure we never miss a detail when it comes to your smile’s health and well-being. We have it all, from laser teeth cleaning and intra-oral photos and scanners to 3D imaging and digital X-rays. Your smile is in the best hands possible with our talented team.

Is it time for you to schedule your next dental hygiene appointment? You can reach our dental office in Houston at 281.849.8858 today to keep your smile’s health on track.

DO I NEED A DEEP CLEANING?

If you have gum disease, adding deep cleanings to your hygiene appointment keeps your smile healthier and intact.

With just 3 days to a week of missed brushing and flossing, dental plaque and tartar can build up and spread under the gums. There, they can fester, infect, and irritate the soft tissues, leading to gum disease. While early gingivitis can be fixed with consistent brushing and flossing habits and a regular cleaning, later stages aren’t so simple. As they attack the gums and hurt, the gums start receding and creating pockets that trap food and plaque. Signs of this more dangerous gum disease include:

  • Red, puffy gums
  • Gingival bleeding
  • Gums that are tender or painful
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Pain when biting down or chewing
  • New spaces appearing between teeth
  • Loose teeth
  • Change in your bite’s fit

When treating advanced periodontal disease, your hygienist may recommend a deep cleaning. Deep cleanings go further than standard teeth cleaning to clear everything stuck on the roots and harming your gums. Once the teeth roots are smoothed down, the gums can reattach to them and start recovering as they return to a healthy pink. It may take more than one visit to completely clear your smile of plaque buildup, but your smile will be all the happier for it.

6 DAILY ORAL HYGIENE TIPS FOR A HEALTHY SMILE!

GO ELECTRIC

Moving from a standard manual to an electric toothbrush makes it much easier and more efficient to clean your teeth of plaque and bacteria using the right strokes and technique. This simple switch proves to create healthier teeth and gums so your smile lasts you a lifetime.

TWO MINUTES

Giving your teeth a quick pass with your toothbrush isn’t enough to reach every nook and cranny where food and plaque can hide. Be sure to brush your teeth for two minutes to clean your teeth effectively. Some electric toothbrushes even have built-in timers to make this easy.

FLOSS LIKE A BOSS

Don’t stop at simply brushing your teeth. You should also floss them once a day to remove anything trapped between your teeth and under your gums. Flossing prevents cavities and gum disease, which otherwise lead to a tooth filling, gum treatment, or tooth extraction.

DOUBLE UP

Is it alright to visit your dentist once a year? No! Regularly seeing a dental hygienist for a cleaning and exam twice a year ensures your smile stays free from plaque, bacteria, and tartar buildup. Patients with a history of dental issues may need to come in 3 or 4 times a year.

DRINK WATER

Want to know an often-ignored secret to a healthier smile? Staying hydrated! Drinking water helps your mouth produce saliva, which helps break down and wash away sugars, foods, and plaque. We also highly recommend having a glass of water or rinsing your mouth after meals.

TASTY TREATS

As tasty as treats like desserts, sweets, and junk food are, they’re a nightmare for your teeth. Limiting the sugary and starchy foods you eat can help prevent enamel erosion and plaque buildup, which would otherwise work together to quickly create tooth decay and cavities.
