At Sikario Dental, we believe that a healthy smile begins with preventive care.
Regular professional tooth cleaning, combined with good oral hygiene at home, plays a key role in keeping teeth strong and gums healthy, preventing problems such as cavities, gum disease and bad breath.
Advanced Cleaning with AirFlow® Technology
For a superior cleaning experience, we use AirFlow® technology, an innovative method that combines air, water, and fine powder to gently remove plaque, stains, and biofilm from teeth and gums. This minimally invasive approach ensures a deep yet comfortable clean, making it ideal for patients with sensitive teeth, braces, or implants. Unlike traditional scaling, AirFlow® effectively cleans even hard-to-reach areas without
damaging enamel or soft tissues.
The Importance of Professional Cleanings & Regular Check-Ups
Even with the best at-home oral care routine, professional cleanings at the dental practice are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Tartar (hardened plaque) can only be removed by a dental professional, and routine cleanings help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other complications. Additionally, regular dental check-ups allow for early detection of potential issues, ensuring that any necessary treatments can be done before problems become serious. At Sikario Dental, we recommend visiting us at least twice a year to keep your teeth and gums in perfect condition.
At-Home Oral Care: How to Maintain a Healthy Smile
To keep your teeth in optimal condition between visits, we recommend:
✔ Brushing twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Use small circular motions and pay special attention to the gumline.
✔ Using interdental brushes or floss daily to remove plaque from between teeth and prevent gum inflammation.
✔ Rinsing with an alcohol-free mouthwash to reduce bacteria and freshen breath.
✔ Adopting a balanced diet low in sugar and acidic foods to protect your enamel.
✔ Drinking plenty of water to maintain saliva production, which naturally cleanses the mouth.
By combining professional prophylaxis with a strong home care routine, you can ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Beyond cleaning, our preventive approach includes personalized oral health guidance, fluoride treatments, and protective sealants to strengthen your teeth and minimize the risk of future problems. We also perform detailed assessments to detect early signs of dental issues, allowing for timely and effective intervention.
