A professional teeth cleaning at least twice a year can improve your oral health. This dental cleaning facilitates your home-care oral health regimen and gives your dentist an opportunity to locate areas in your mouth that may need special attention. At A1 Dental Clinic, we have dental hygienists who are specially trained to scale and polish teeth. The primary goals of our dental cleaning treatment is to
- Prevent tooth decay that results from excessive tartar and plaque buildup.
- Prevent and relieve from gum disease
- Get rid of bad breath
- Detect serious dental issues
What Happens During Your Teeth Cleaning Appointment?
Physical Exam:
Before we begin the actual cleaning process, our dental hygienist runs a physical examination of your entire mouth. If any problem is detected, we will determine the appropriate treatment option for your case. Otherwise, we will go over the teeth cleaning process.
Plague And Tartar Removal:
Our dentist uses a scaler to remove plaque and tartar around your gum line and in between your teeth. Brushing and flossing prevents plague from forming and hardening into tartar. If tartar is formed, you can get it removed only at the dental office.
Deep Cleaning:
After removing the tartar from your teeth, our hygienist brushes your teeth using a high-powered electric brush. This is a great way to achieve a deep clean and remove any tartar left behind.
Polishing:
Polishing is performed after scaling to remove the surface stains and make your teeth smooth and shiny. A unique instrument along with specially-formulated paste will be used to polish the teeth.
When we are done with teeth cleaning, you are likely to notice that your teeth are a bit whiter. So, if you are attending regular dental cleaning appointments, you may not require a teeth whitening procedure for improving the brightness of your smile.
