What is Professional Teeth Cleaning?

It is necessary to have a professional teeth cleaning every six months to prevent plaque and tartar buildup and to identify any oral health issues before they develop into problems.

What Happens During a Teeth Cleaning?

During a professional teeth cleaning, a small mirror and a tool are used to remove plaque and tartar, usually around the gum line and between the teeth. The dentist checks for signs of inflammation around the gums or teeth, and at the end of the procedure, a thorough cleaning is done, often with flossing to encourage proper oral hygiene habits.

What is a Teeth and Gum Examination?

A teeth and gum examination checks for cavities and gum disease. X-rays may be taken to identify small cavities not visible to the naked eye. The dentist will also evaluate the risk of other oral health problems and suggest preventive or corrective measures.

What is Polishing and Flossing?

During a professional cleaning, the dentist will polish and floss your teeth to ensure you start your next six-month visit with clean teeth. This is both a habit-building practice and a demonstration of proper cleaning technique.

Scaling is the process of removing plaque and tartar from the teeth and gum line. This is crucial because if left untreated, it can lead to cavities and other dental issues.

What Happens During Professional Brushing?

Professional brushing at the dentist’s office ensures thorough cleaning and polishing of your teeth, setting you up for proper home hygiene habits.

Why is Flossing Important?

Flossing is important as it removes debris trapped between teeth that is difficult to remove with brushing alone, contributing to better dental hygiene.

Why are Routine Dental Cleanings Important?

Routine cleanings are crucial because most patients lack the skills or knowledge to remove plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces and the gum line effectively.
