At R. Boyd Gilleland DDS we recommend regular teeth cleanings in Port Charlotte,\u00a0FL\u00a0every 6 months for most of our patients, those with chronic dental conditions however may need to visit more regularly.

Boyd Gilleland DDS today, we are always happy to see new patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bad Breath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know the leading cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene and improper dental care? Professional dental cleanings allow your dentist to thoroughly clean every area in your mouth, even those hard to reach places bacteria that cause bad breath can hide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth Decay\/Cavities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Were you aware tooth decay is the leading chronic disease among children 6-19? With routine dental cleanings you can greatly reduce your risk of tooth decay and cavity formation. During your cleaning, we make sure that your mouth is completely free from tooth decay causing plaque and bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Periodontal Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that periodontal gum disease affects over 65,000,000 Americans and can be completely prevented? Regular dental cleanings have been shown to greatly reduce the risk of periodontal gum disease by removing the plaque, bacteria and germs known to cause the condition. Once periodontal gum disease has advanced however, it is no longer curable and will have to be managed with routine visits to your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discoloration\/Staining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with complications that can actually impact your health, discoloration and staining is common among patients that neglect to visit their dentist routinely. Extrinsic staining occurs over time due to us using our teeth to consume foods, however, routine cleanings can remove this staining, leaving the patient with a more appealing-looking smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule Your Routine Teeth Cleaning in Port Charlotte,&nbsp;FL Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to schedule your routine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caringwaydentistry.com\/dental-checkups-cleanings.html\">dental cleaning in Port Charlotte,&nbsp;FL<\/a>?
