Dental Cleaning

Dr. Alvarez recommends dental cleanings at least once every six months.  Your unique dental health challenges might necessitate more frequent cleanings.  If you have not been to the dentist for a cleaning in the prior six months, reach out to us at (305) 270-5505 to schedule one.  Our dental cleanings are comprehensive, meaning they address the surfaces of teeth, their crevices and also the spaces in between them.  We apply fluoride treatments and gauge gum recession with in-depth charting at every single appointment.

Dental cleanings greatly reduce the chances of losing teeth.  Cleanings once every six months also reduce the chances of suffering from preventable oral health problems including diseases.  Though you can certainly clean your teeth on your own with floss, a toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash, it will only go so far.  The tartar and plaque stuck to your teeth cannot be removed unless addressed with a dentist’s specialized instruments.  Fail to visit with our Miami dentist for your 6-month cleanings and tartar will build up along the gums, causing the gum tissues to pull away from the teeth, generating a sizable pocket below and possibly even leading to bone shrinkage around the root of the tooth.
