Dental Cleanings Keep Your Smile Healthy
To maintain good oral health, it is essential to eliminate plaque, which harbors the bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease. Our office strongly advises patients to schedule professional dental cleanings twice a year. This enables our hygienist to effectively remove any accumulated plaque, tartar, and food particles from the teeth and gums.
The advantages of regular dental cleanings include:
- Keep your smile fresh and clean
- Protect against cavities and maintain periodontal health
- Help reverse gingivitis and improve gum health
- Promote overall health and well-being
What Can You Anticipate During a Dental Cleaning?
When it comes to dental cleanings, there are two main methods that are commonly used: hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers. Hand instruments involve scraping off deposits from the teeth, while ultrasonic scalers utilize water and vibrations to remove buildup. Our general dentist may choose to use a combination of both methods in order to achieve the best results.
During a typical dental cleaning, the focus is on the surface areas around the tooth's neck, either just above or below the gumline. This procedure is usually painless and straightforward. However, for patients who have sensitive teeth or other dental issues that may cause discomfort during the cleaning, we are able to offer topical numbing gels or local anesthesia.
A Radiant, Gleaming, and Perfect Smile
After a deep cleaning of your teeth and gums, our hygienist will polish your teeth to remove surface stains. You'll leave with a fresh, clean smile and receive tips on proper brushing, flossing techniques, and dietary advice for optimal oral health.
