Dental Cleaning
Dental cleanings are an important part of maintaining your oral health, as well as the health of your entire body. They also help make your smile whiter and brighter. Whether you’re looking after your overall health or getting ready for a major event, visit us for a dental cleaning in Airdrie to remove stains and give yourself a brighter smile.
Oral hygiene is more than just keeping your teeth clean. Evidence suggests that gum disease, which can occur with poor oral hygiene, affects cardiovascular health and increases stroke risk, as well as the likelihood of delivering preterm and low-birthweight babies among pregnant women. For patients in Airdrie, dental checkups scheduled regularly can ensure good oral health and reduce these risks.
While some people accumulate little tartar on their teeth, others seem to experience buildup relatively quickly regardless of their oral hygiene at home. Various factors contribute to this, including genetics, diet, and susceptibility to tartar, and as such, it’s important for us to tailor dental cleaning length, technique, and frequency to your individual needs.
We offer dental cleanings in Airdrie for patients of all ages, and we take the utmost care in the quality of our work.
Of course you can still get a cleaning done on the same day as your exam appointment if you choose so! In some occasions we do recommend a second cleaning appointment get your teeth closer to a healthy state.

Professional dental cleaning is an effective way to reduce or remove yellow stains that are at the surface-level; however, factors such as certain foods, tobacco use, and aging can contribute to deeper yellowing in the teeth that may not be fully removed by a dental cleaning.

What You Need to Know
Dental cleanings should generally be a comfortable experience. However, some individuals have more sensitive teeth, especially due to various levels of recession and root exposure. Freezing is always an option for those patients who prefer to have it done with numbing. We also have topical gels which help to partially numb the teeth to make the experience more comfortable.
At Yankee Valley Dental we want our patients to feel that they choose what level of service they are comfortable receiving. We are never here to push treatment to our patients. You may find it worthwhile to know the Canadian Dental Association’s stance on Fluoride. The CDA calls fluoride ‘one of the most successful preventative health measures in history of health care’.

Dental polishing is offered to patients as early as three years old. At this early age, very few patients have tartar which needs to be removed. Polishing is done to remove staining and soft plaque, and also to get our young patients used to being in the dental chair. We like to introduce dentistry gradually so that it stays a positive experience for the little ones.
Did You Know?
Everyone knows that sweets can cause cavities. But what you may not know is that frequency of snacking plays a very important factor in development of cavities. For example, if you are eating the same amount of sweets in one sitting vs over the course of the day, cavities are more likely to develop in the latter case. This is because the teeth don’t get as much change to ‘remineralize’ themselves after multiple snacks. The best thing you can do is to drink lots of water to neutralize the pH in the mouth, and decrease the number of snacks.
