Preventative Dental Care: Ensuring Long-Term Health for Your Family

Westboro Dental Centre prioritizes providing patients with essential knowledge and preventative care, minimizing the need for future treatments both in terms of time and cost.

Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Evaluation:

Our skilled dental hygienists conduct thorough oral health assessments during your family's visit. They will:

• Examine your soft tissues for signs of health or disease.
• Gauge gum attachment levels to assess potential gum disease.
• Remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth.
• Offer personalized advice for sustaining oral health.

Our hygienists dedicate time to each patient, collaborating with our dentists to design effective treatment plans for long-lasting oral wellness.

Understanding Plaque and Calculus:

Plaque, a sticky white film, forms on teeth, producing acids that harm teeth and irritate gums. This irritation can escalate to gingivitis and periodontal disease.

When plaque is not routinely removed through oral hygiene, it hardens into calculus (also known as tartar). Dental professionals, not toothbrushes, can remove calculus during cleanings. To control plaque and calculus, maintain good oral habits: brush twice a day, floss daily, and schedule regular dental cleanings.
