THE IMPORTANCE OF DENTAL CLEANINGS FOR MAINTAINING A HEALTHY SMILE

Sustaining optimal oral health necessitates the removal of plaque, a breeding ground for bacteria that can result in cavities and gum disease. We highly recommend patients to arrange biannual professional dental cleanings at our office. This regular schedule allows our hygienists to thoroughly eliminate accumulated plaque, tartar, and food debris from both the teeth and gums effectively.

Regular dental cleanings offer the following benefits:

  • Keep your smile feeling fresh and clean
  • Prevent cavities and protect your gum health
  • Assist in reversing gingivitis and restoring gum health
  • Support your overall health and well-being

What you can anticipate during a teeth cleaning procedure

Dental cleanings can be carried out using either hand instruments or an ultrasonic scaler. Hand instruments effectively remove harmful deposits from the teeth, while an ultrasonic scaler employs water and vibrations for cleaning. Our hygienists may combine both methods to achieve the best results.

During a standard dental cleaning, the focus is on the surface areas around the tooth's neck, mainly above or slightly below the gumline. This process is typically painless and straightforward. However, for patients with tooth sensitivity or other dental issues that may cause discomfort during the cleaning, we can offer topical numbing gels or local anesthesia.
