At Creekview Dental, we emphasize the power of prevention. Here are some essential techniques to protect your oral health:

• Brush Twice a Day: Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth for at least two minutes.
• Floss Daily: Remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth to prevent cavities and gum disease.
• Maintain a Balanced Diet: Limit sugary snacks and drinks that can lead to tooth decay.
• Drink Plenty of Water: Staying hydrated helps wash away food particles and bacteria.
• Visit the Dentist Regularly: Schedule dental appointments every six months for professional dental cleanings and exams.

These simple habits form the foundation of excellent dental health, reducing your risk of developing serious issues that may require extensive treatment.

Professional teeth cleaning in Cherry Creek is a cornerstone of preventive care at Creekview Dental. During a routine cleaning, our dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be eliminated through brushing and flossing alone.

Your cleaning and exam at Creekview Dental will include:

1. Thorough Cleaning: Using specialized tools, our hygienists will gently clean your teeth and polish them for a smooth, fresh finish.
2. Dental Exam: Our skilled dentist will perform a comprehensive examination to check for cavities, gum disease, and other potential issues.
3. X-rays (if needed): Digital X-rays may be taken to assess areas not visible during the physical exam.
4. Oral Health Education: We’ll provide personalized tips and recommendations to enhance your at-home hygiene routine.

Regular cleanings and exams not only protect your teeth and gums but also serve as an opportunity to discuss any concerns, such as a toothache or sensitivity.
