Most people think of dental cleanings as just a way to keep their teeth looking bright, but routine dental cleanings are a cornerstone of overall health. At Stauffer Dental in San Tan Valley and Queen Creek, we focus on preventative care to help patients maintain healthy teeth, gums, and even a healthier body.

The Connection Between Dental Health and Overall Health

Your mouth is more than just a smile — it’s the gateway to your body. Poor oral hygiene can contribute to serious health issues, including:

  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes complications
  • Respiratory infections
  • Pregnancy complications

Regular dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach, protecting not just your teeth but your whole body.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?

During a professional cleaning at Stauffer Dental, our team will:

  1. Examine your teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues.
  2. Remove plaque and tartar buildup using specialized instruments.
  3. Polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile smooth.
  4. Provide personalized guidance on brushing, flossing, and oral hygiene habits.

Our goal is to make your cleaning comfortable, thorough, and even enjoyable — no stress, no pain, just a healthy, confident smile.
