Preventative Dentistry in Fishers, IN

woman at the dentist in fishers in Do you have a perfect, cavity-free smile? If so, that’s fantastic! However, even the most perfect smiles need regular preventive care, including routine dental cleanings and exams. At Dentistry of Fishers, Dr. Jeremy Jones, DMD, and his skilled team of dental professionals provide the services you need to keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong.

Why Do I Need Professional Dental Cleanings?

While your at-home oral hygiene routine is essential, you can’t maintain top-notch oral health by yourself. A toothbrush and floss simply can’t accomplish the level of cleanliness our dental hygienists can in our Fishers dental office, where we can remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria with advanced dental tools and techniques.

Additionally, your visits for routine dental cleanings give our experienced dentist, Dr. Jeremy Jones, the opportunity to examine your oral health thoroughly. During an exam, Dr. Jones will look for any developing dental problems that need to be addressed, and he’ll take note of any areas of concern. Your exam may include x-rays and other diagnostic tools to help Dr. Fisher get a complete picture of your oral health.

We love providing patient education, and Dr. Fisher will be happy to answer any questions you have about your dental care or oral health. In addition, he’ll discuss any suggested dental treatments with you in-depth to ensure you can make the best decision for your dental care.

Your Roadmap to Exceptional Oral Health

At Dentistry of Fishers, we consider ourselves a partner on your oral health journey, and on this particular journey, our job is to supply the map. When you visit us, Dr. Jones will work with you to develop your customized roadmap toward exceptional oral health, which will include a comprehensive plan for treatment and maintenance. Then, every time you come back to see us, we’ll make sure you’re staying on track with your roadmap goals so that you can enjoy the healthiest, happiest smile possible.

While every patient’s oral health plan will differ depending on their specific dental needs, every path toward oral health success includes preventive care and maintenance.

With preventive care and maintenance, along with early intervention, we can help you stave off many serious dental problems, including:

Gum disease
Tooth decay
Tooth extraction
Tooth infections

Patients can often save significant sums of money and time spent in the dental chair with preventive care, so it’s very much worth it.

How Often Do I Need Preventive Care?

For most patients, we recommend a dental cleaning and exam twice yearly. However, if you have gum disease or another issue that needs monitoring or more frequent attention, we may recommend a different cleaning and exam schedule.

At Dentistry of Fishers, we provide personalized treatments and services, paying close attention to your individual needs and basing any recommendations we make on your specific circumstances.

How often should I have my teeth cleaned at a dental office?

With an excellent oral hygiene routine at home and routine dental cleanings and exams at Dentistry of Fishers, you can maintain exceptional oral health and a beautiful smile. We recommend that patients visit us every six months for a dental cleaning and exam at a minimum.

However, if you have gum disease or other oral health issues that we need to keep an eye on, we may increase your cleaning schedule so we can see you more frequently and provide you with more care and attention.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?

At Dentistry of Fishers, your dental cleaning will be performed by a skilled dental hygienist. First, the hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, removing all plaque and tartar for better oral health and a more attractive smile. Then, the hygienist can polish your teeth, making them appear shiny and smooth. Your hygienist may also provide a fluoride treatment.

Our dental hygienist has advanced tools and training in achieving ideal cleanliness and can remove tartar that is impossible to remove with just a toothbrush and floss, so these cleanings truly are necessary to keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong.

What Are the dos and don’ts after a teeth cleaning?

You're free to enjoy your favorite foods after your professional teeth cleaning in Fishers, IN. However, to keep your teeth healthy, we recommend avoiding or lowering your consumption of certain foods and drinks.

What Not to Eat After a Teeth Cleaning

To maintain your results and prevent new tartar from forming on your teeth, we recommend limiting the following foods and drinks:

Acidic foods and beverages like soda, fruit juice, and hard candy
Sugary foods and drinks like sodas and sweets

Additionally, if you've had a fluoride treatment, we recommend not eating anything for about half an hour after your dental visit.

And after your teeth cleaning, it's essential to brush and floss regularly, preferably after every meal or at least twice daily. And be sure to rinse your mouth if you indulge in foods or beverages that are not smile-healthy—this is an alternative to brushing and flossing if you are not at home and can't properly clean your teeth.

In conclusion, do brush and floss regularly, but don't overindulge in sweets and acids.

Schedule a Teeth Cleaning with Your Dentist in Fishers, IN

Twice-yearly teeth cleanings are essential to your long-term oral health. If you have not had a cleaning in a while or it's time for your dental checkup, contact our dental office to schedule a visit with the dentist.
