Why Good Dental Hygiene Matters
Protect Your Teeth, Gums & Health
At Skinner Dental, we believe that regular cleanings and preventive care are the building blocks of a healthy smile. Good dental hygiene not only helps keep your teeth and gums healthy, but it may even promote your overall health by helping to prevent serious dental problems. There are several benefits of good dental hygiene including:
- Preventing cavities and tooth decay
- Reducing the risk of gum disease
- Helping prevent tooth loss
- Detecting dental problems early
- Avoiding more extensive and costly dental treatments
- Improving confidence in your smile
Our dental cleanings are tailored to your specific needs depending on the health of your gums and bone surrounding your teeth. Medicated gels, prescription mouth rinses, and even ultrasonic scaling may be used to treat trouble areas and improve your overall experience.
Dental sealants are an essential component to any child’s or teenager’s preventative care regimen. This preventive treatment is a protective coating applied to the chewing surface of the back teeth. Cavities often occur in these teeth, so sealants are applied to help prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck in the teeth’s grooves. The process is painless, takes very little time, and doesn’t require drilling or removal of any healthy tooth structure.
Kids and adults with an increased risk of developing cavities may require additional fluoride treatments. These can include dietary fluoride supplements for children whose water supply is not fluoridated, fluoride mouth rinses, and even in-office fluoride gels and varnishes.

Been a patient for years and have always appreciated how welcoming and friendly the staff are. The facilities are top of the line and they are always up to date with the latest in dentistry. Would definitely recommend.
My daughter started going here, and I soon transferred over as well. I was impressed with the up to date equipment, and they can basically do everything in the office without sending you elsewhere. Both of the Dr. Skinner’s and JJ have always been very informational with every visit. I would recommend them to anyone.
I love Skinner dental! Dr. Skinner and Dr. Justin are very professional and have always been straightforward with my treatment and gentle during procedures. There is never a long wait, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Hygiene Questions?
We Have Answers
Why is good oral hygiene important?
Your daily oral hygiene routine is essential to having a healthy smile. Brushing your teeth, flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly can help you avoid cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. At Skinner Dental, we believe that preventive dentistry is the best option for protecting your teeth and gums and helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile for years to come.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
While each patient’s needs are different, we generally recommend visiting the dentist for a professional cleaning and exam every six months. That way, our experienced doctors can remove plaque and tartar buildup that you can’t reach at home and check your teeth and gums for signs of oral disease. If you require more frequent cleanings due to your oral health, we’re here to accommodate your schedule.
What should I expect during a dental checkup?
For many patients, a cleaning and exam every six months helps keep their smile healthy. These visits let us remove buildup that brushing and flossing can leave behind and catch potential concerns early. Some people benefit from more frequent care, so we’ll recommend a schedule based on your needs and work with you to find appointment times that fit your routine.
What are symptoms of poor dental hygiene?
Bleeding or swollen gums, ongoing bad breath, and sensitive teeth are signs worth checking out. If you’ve noticed these changes or are concerned about plaque or cavities, we’re here to help without judgment. Schedule a visit with Skinner Dental so we can find out what’s causing the problem and help you get your smile back on track.
Does good dental hygiene affect my overall health?
Taking care of your teeth and gums is an important part of caring for yourself. Oral health is connected to overall health, including conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. At Skinner Dental, we help you build simple daily habits that keep your smile healthy and support your well-being.
