At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, we emphasize the importance of oral hygiene and wellness as a foundation for lifelong dental health. Our dentist and team provide education, preventive guidance and individualized care that help patients maintain clean, healthy smiles between visits. While regular exams are essential, daily habits and in-office cleanings play a key role in preventing oral disease.
Oral hygiene goes beyond brushing and flossing – it involves informed decisions, effective techniques and consistent care. Our goal is to help patients understand how oral health impacts overall wellness and how small changes can produce lasting benefits.

What Oral Hygiene Includes
Professional dental cleanings are an important part of maintaining oral wellness. These visits remove plaque and tartar that cannot be addressed with home care alone. Our dentist and recommend cleanings based on each patient’s unique risk factors, including medical conditions, dietary habits and history of gum disease.
During a cleaning, our team removes buildup from the teeth and gumline, polishes surfaces to reduce future accumulation and evaluates the condition of the soft tissues. We also offer personalized recommendations for brushing techniques, flossing methods, mouth rinses and tools like water flossers or interdental brushes.
Oral hygiene education is provided for all age groups and stages of life – from children learning to care for their first teeth to adults managing dry mouth or gum sensitivity. We focus on practical solutions that patients can implement with confidence.
Why Oral Wellness Matters
Good oral hygiene reduces the risk of cavities, gum disease and tooth loss. It also supports overall health by lowering inflammation and preventing bacteria from spreading beyond the mouth. Conditions like diabetes, heart disease and pregnancy complications have been linked to poor oral hygiene, making daily care even more important.
Our dentist and team encourage a proactive approach to oral wellness. By maintaining strong hygiene habits, patients can reduce the need for more extensive treatments and preserve their natural teeth longer. Wellness-focused care also supports fresh breath, comfortable chewing and a smile that reflects personal well-being.
