The Power of Prevention in Dental Care
At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we believe that prevention is the key to long-term oral health. Our approach to dental hygiene focuses on stopping problems before they start. Through regular cleanings, exams, and personalized advice, our preventive dental hygiene services help you keep your teeth strong, your gums healthy, and your smile radiant.
What Is Preventive Dental Hygiene?
More Than Just a Cleaning
Preventive dental hygiene is about actively maintaining your oral health to avoid future issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. It includes professional cleanings, early detection screenings, fluoride treatments, and customized at-home care routines.
A Long-Term Investment
Good dental hygiene isn’t just about today—it’s an investment in your future. By taking preventive steps now, you can avoid costly, uncomfortable dental procedures down the road.
Key Benefits of Preventive Dental Hygiene
Protects Enamel and Prevents Decay
Our professional dental hygiene services remove plaque and tartar that contribute to tooth decay. Fluoride treatments further strengthen enamel, making your teeth more resistant to cavities.
Keeps Gums Healthy
Preventive care includes monitoring gum health and removing bacteria that cause gingivitis and periodontal disease. Maintaining healthy gums is essential for a strong foundation and overall dental hygiene.
Detects Issues Early
Routine exams during your dental hygiene appointments allow us to spot problems early. Whether it’s a small cavity or early gum inflammation, early treatment is faster, simpler, and more effective.
What to Expect at a Preventive Hygiene Appointment
Comprehensive Cleaning
Our hygienists perform a thorough cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. This supports your ongoing dental hygiene efforts at home and keeps your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
Oral Health Assessment
Each dental hygiene appointment includes an evaluation of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We check for signs of decay, gum disease, and other issues you may not feel or see yet.
Personalized Prevention Plan
We offer tailored advice to improve your dental hygiene routine. From the best brushing technique to flossing tips and product recommendations, we guide you in building habits that protect your teeth long-term.
Preventive Hygiene for All Ages
Children and Teens
Starting dental hygiene early helps children avoid cavities and develop good habits. We offer gentle cleanings, sealants, and education to support young patients through every stage of development.
Adults and Seniors
As you age, your dental hygiene needs change. We provide preventive care for adults managing busy lives and seniors dealing with dry mouth, receding gums, or previous dental work.
Building Better Daily Habits
Brush and Floss Effectively
We help you build a strong at-home routine that complements your in-office dental hygiene care. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss once a day to keep bacteria and plaque under control.
Use the Right Tools
Our team can recommend the best toothbrush, floss, and mouthwash to match your specific dental hygiene needs. The right tools make a big difference in your daily routine.
Eat for Oral Health
A healthy diet supports your dental hygiene. Limit sugar, stay hydrated, and eat foods that are rich in calcium and vitamins to keep your teeth strong and your mouth balanced.
Insurance-Friendly and Hassle-Free Care
Direct Billing Available
We offer direct billing to most insurance providers so you can focus on your dental hygiene, not paperwork. Our front desk team will handle the claims process for you.
