THE IMPORTANCE OF DENTAL CLEANINGS FOR MAINTAINING A HEALTHY SMILE

Maintaining optimal oral health requires the removal of plaque, a haven for bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease. We strongly advise patients to schedule biannual professional dental cleanings at our office. This regular routine enables our hygienists to meticulously remove built-up plaque, tartar, and food debris from both the teeth and gums, ensuring comprehensive cleanliness and health.

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 performed using hand instruments or an ultrasonic scaler. Hand instruments efficiently eliminate harmful deposits from the teeth, whereas an ultrasonic scaler uses water and vibrations for cleaning. Our hygienists may utilize a combination of both methods for optimal results.

In a regular dental cleaning, the attention is on the surface areas around the tooth's neck, primarily above or slightly below the gumline. This procedure is usually painless and uncomplicated. However, for patients experiencing tooth sensitivity or other dental concerns that may cause discomfort during the cleaning, we can provide topical numbing gels or local anesthesia.
