Sanitas Family Dentistry Emphasizes Preventive Dental Cleaning as Foundation for Long-Term Oral Health

January 12, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Sanitas Family Dentistry reinforces the critical role of professional dental cleanings in preventing oral disease and maintaining overall health, as dental professionals nationwide observe increasing rates of preventable dental conditions among adults who delay routine preventive care.

The Boulder-based dental practice emphasizes that regular professional cleanings serve as the cornerstone of preventive dentistry, addressing the accumulation of plaque and tartar that daily brushing cannot remove. Recent dental health statistics indicate that nearly half of American adults show signs of gum disease, a condition largely preventable through consistent professional cleanings and proper oral hygiene.

“Professional dental cleanings do more than maintain a bright smile; they serve as an essential preventive measure against serious oral health conditions,” said Jarrett Schaffer, dental health coordinator at the practice. “When patients understand that regular cleanings can prevent costly and painful dental problems down the road, they recognize these appointments as investments in their long-term health rather than routine maintenance. For those interested in learning more about preventive dental care and professional cleaning services, individuals can visit our website for comprehensive information about maintaining optimal oral health.”

The practice employs advanced cleaning technologies, including Air Powder Polishing for effective plaque and stain removal, and Laser Bacterial Reduction to target harmful bacteria in the gums. These modern approaches enhance the traditional scaling and polishing procedures, providing more thorough cleaning while improving patient comfort during treatment.

Beyond the immediate benefits of removing harmful bacteria and preventing cavities, professional cleanings allow dental professionals to detect early signs of oral health issues. During these appointments, practitioners examine the mouth for indicators of developing problems, from minor cavities to more serious conditions, including oral cancer. This early detection capability makes regular cleanings a vital component of comprehensive healthcare.

The practice also addresses the connection between oral health and systemic conditions. Research continues to demonstrate links between gum disease and various health issues including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory conditions. By maintaining optimal oral health through regular cleanings, patients may reduce their risk factors for these broader health concerns.

“Education forms a significant component of each cleaning appointment at our practice,” continued Schaffer. “Our dental hygienists provide personalized instruction on proper brushing and flossing techniques, helping patients optimize their daily oral care routines between professional cleanings. This educational approach empowers patients to take an active role in maintaining their oral health. Patients and community members can follow us on social media platforms for regular updates on dental health topics and preventive care tips.”

Sanitas Family Dentistry operates as a comprehensive dental practice offering general, cosmetic, family, emergency, pediatric, and implant dentistry services. Led by Dr. Krista Beseda, a Denver native specializing in general dentistry, the practice maintains a patient-centered philosophy focused on compassion, integrity, and personalized care. The practice also provides specialized services including sleep apnea treatment, TMJ/TMD therapy, and myofunctional therapy, addressing the full spectrum of oral and related health concerns.
