Professional Cleanings

A professional dental cleaning is not just about polishing your teeth. It’s an intricate procedure that ensures the longevity of your teeth and the health of your gums. At Timber Family Dental, our skilled dental hygienists use advanced tools and techniques to gently remove plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing can’t tackle. Every cleaning session concludes with polishing to remove surface stains, leaving your teeth sparkling and smooth.

Regular professional cleanings prevent the onset of gum diseases and ensure early detection of potential dental problems. To keep your smile looking and feeling its best, we recommend you visit us for a professional cleaning every six months.

Exams & X-Rays

Timber Family Dental takes a holistic approach to dental health, and this begins with a comprehensive examination and the use of modern x-ray technology. Ensuring the overall well-being of your teeth and gums is our top priority.

• Comprehensive exams: Our dental professionals conduct meticulous examinations to evaluate your overall oral health. This includes inspecting the teeth for cavities, checking gums for signs of disease, assessing your bite, and looking for any underlying issues that may require attention.
• State-of-the-art x-rays: Utilizing the latest in digital x-ray equipment, we can obtain detailed images of your teeth and jaw with minimal radiation exposure. These images are vital for diagnosing problems that aren’t visible to the naked eye, such as hidden decay or issues with the roots and bones.

Proper Prevention At Home

While our expert care plays an essential role, what you do at home significantly impacts your dental health. The partnership between our guidance and your daily routine is crucial. Below, you will find a selection of some essential tips for at-home dental care:

• Brush twice daily: Use a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush. Ensure you brush for at least two minutes, reaching all areas of your mouth.
• Floss daily: Flossing helps remove food particles and plaque from between teeth and below the gum line, areas your toothbrush can’t reach.
• Use mouthwash: Antiseptic mouthwash can help kill bacteria that cause plaque and gum disease.
• Maintain a balanced diet: Limit sugary snacks and drinks. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
• Change your toothbrush: Replace your toothbrush or toothbrush head every three or four months or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
• Regular check-ups: Always remember that prevention is better than cure. Regular dental visits are essential for a thorough clean and to spot any potential issues early.
