The Process of a Professional Dental Cleaning

Dental Examination

Your professional dental cleaning begins with a comprehensive dental physical exam and examination. Before the actual cleaning process, our expert dental team may conduct a brief examination to identify any potential issues. This step is crucial in developing a tailored cleaning plan.

Plaque and Tartar Removal

Once the examination is complete, our dental hygienist will skillfully remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. Our team uses specialized dental tools to remove these harmful deposits.

Removing plaque and tartar is a pivotal step in preventing tooth decay and gum disease, as these accumulations harbor harmful bacteria that can lead to oral health issues and problems.

Polishing

To enhance the natural shine of your teeth and leave your smile looking its best, we use a high-powered toothbrush and specialized gritty toothpaste for polishing. This step enhances your smile’s aesthetics and contributes to a healthier, cleaner mouth.

Fluoride Treatment

After your teeth cleaning, we may recommend a fluoride treatment. Dental fluoride is used to strengthen your teeth and make them more resistant to decay. This extra layer of protection is particularly beneficial for individuals at higher risk of dental issues.

Oral Health Advice

To ensure you can maintain your newly refreshed smile, your dental hygienist may offer guidance on maintaining good oral hygiene practices. This dental care advice includes tips on proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as other personalized recommendations for your oral care routine.
