Skipping dental cleanings might not seem like a big deal—until you’re dealing with gum disease or cavities that could’ve been prevented. At Canyon Gate Dental in Orem, we make it easy to stay on top of your oral health with gentle, thorough cleanings that do more than just polish your teeth.

What Happens During a Professional Dental Cleaning?

At our Orem office, dental cleanings go beyond brushing. Each visit includes:

• Plaque and tartar removal: Even the best toothbrush can’t remove hardened tartar.
• Deep flossing and polishing: We leave your teeth feeling fresh and smooth.
• Gum health check: Early signs of gingivitis are easier (and cheaper) to treat.
• Personalized care tips: We’ll review your brushing habits and offer practical advice.

This isn’t just about clean teeth—it’s about keeping your gums, bone, and entire smile healthy.

Why Dental Cleanings Every 6 Months Matter

We recommend cleanings every 6 months because dental problems often start small and silently. Routine visits help prevent:

• Cavities
• Gum disease
• Bad breath (halitosis)
• Staining from food and drinks
• Costly restorative procedures later on

When you stay consistent, you’re more likely to avoid emergency issues and enjoy long-term savings on dental care.

Our patients in Orem appreciate that Canyon Gate Dental offers a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re bringing your child for their first cleaning or returning for your 6-month check-up, we work to make the experience relaxing and efficient.

What Happens If You Skip a Cleaning?

Postponing your cleaning might not seem like a big deal, but here’s what can happen:

• Plaque turns into tartar, which leads to decay
• Small cavities go undetected until they hurt
• Early gum inflammation progresses into periodontal disease
• You spend more money fixing preventable problems

That’s why we always encourage Orem residents to stay proactive. Prevention really is the best medicine for your mouth.
