Love Your Smile: Why February is the Perfect Time for a Professional Dental Cleaning

1 Feb 2026

Love is in the air in Greenspoint!

It’s February and our calendars are filling up with Valentine’s Day dinner reservations and plans with loved ones.

While you might be thinking about chocolates and flowers, at Greenspoint Dental, we are thinking about your smile. February isn’t just about romance; it is also National Heart Month and National Children’s Dental Health Month. There is truly no better time to focus on a professional dental cleaning.

Whether you want fresh breath for that special date or you are looking to protect your overall health, here is why you should book a visit to our Houston office this month.

The Valentine’s Connection: Confidence and Fresh Breath

Nothing kills a romantic moment faster than bad breath. While mints and gum mask the problem, they don’t solve it. Persistent bad breath is often caused by bacteria trapped in plaque and tartar buildup, places your toothbrush just can’t reach.

A professional dental cleaning removes this buildup completely. By clearing away the tartar and polishing the teeth, we remove the source of the odor, leaving you with genuinely fresh breath and the confidence to smile (and smooch) without worry.

It’s Heart Month: The Mouth-Body Connection

Did you know your oral health offers clues about your overall health? Since February is American Heart Month, it is crucial to understand the link between your mouth and your heart.

Research suggests a connection between gum disease (periodontitis) and cardiovascular disease. The bacteria associated with gum infection can enter the bloodstream and may contribute to inflammation in blood vessels.

By keeping up with your scheduled cleanings, you aren’t just saving your teeth; you are taking a proactive step for your heart health. It’s never too late to give yourself and your health a little love.

What to Expect: A Comfortable, Judgment-Free Zone

We know that for many in the 77060 region, visiting the dentist can be stressful. Maybe you slipped up on your resolutions last month, or maybe it has been a few years since you sat in a dental chair.

We are a judgment-free zone. Dr. Bosse and our team are interested in your future, not your past.

Here is how we make your cleaning comfortable:

Amenities: We offer blankets and pillows to help you relax during the procedure.
Sedation Dentistry: If you are feeling anxious, ask us about sedation options to put your mind at ease.
Thorough Care: We gently remove plaque and tartar, polish away surface stains, and conduct a thorough exam to catch any issues early.

Affordable Care for the Greenspoint Community

We have been serving families in Greenspoint and the Greater Houston area since 1997. We believe that high-quality dental care should be accessible to everyone.

$99 New Patient Special: If you don’t have insurance, or just need a new dental home, take advantage of our $99 special. This includes your exam, X-rays, and a thorough cleaning.

Flexible Financing: We accept most PPO insurance plans, Medicaid (for patients under 21), and offer financing through CareCredit and The HELPcard.

Show Yourself Some Love This February

Self-care is the best form of love. This month, treat yourself to a smile that feels as good as it looks. We are conveniently located at 12523 Greenspoint Dr, right behind the McDonald’s.
