Personalized Cleanings for a Healthier Smile
At Jay B. Wettstein General & Cosmetic Dentistry in Ontario, OR, we believe preventive care is the key to lasting oral health. Our professional teeth cleanings are tailored to your unique needs, with a focus on gum and bone health. Dr. Wettstein and his skilled dental hygienists customize each cleaning to help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other serious conditions.
Plaque is a sticky film formed from bacteria, food, and saliva. When it’s not removed properly, it hardens into tartar—something brushing and flossing alone can’t handle. Tartar buildup contributes to gingivitis, a condition marked by red, swollen, and tender gums. This is the earliest stage of periodontal (gum) disease and can lead to infection, bone loss, and more.
Our hygienists often use ultrasonic scalers to remove tartar efficiently and comfortably. These advanced tools allow for a gentler, more effective cleaning experience that helps preserve the health of your gums and supporting structures.
Roughly 80% of American adults have some form of gum disease, and most don’t even know it. Early signs are often painless, making it easy to overlook until more serious problems arise. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, gum disease is linked to broader health issues like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and preterm birth.
Routine dental cleanings and exams help catch issues early—before they become painful or costly to treat. By staying on top of your oral hygiene with regular visits, you’re making an investment in your long-term health and confidence.
Protect your smile with expert care from Jay B. Wettstein General & Cosmetic Dentistry. Whether you need a standard cleaning or periodontal maintenance, our team is here to provide thorough, gentle care.
