Whether it’s been years since your last dental cleaning appointment or you just came in a few months ago, our non-judgmental doctors will care for your teeth in the best way possible.
What to Expect at Your Next Teeth Cleaning
Having your teeth professionally cleaned is generally straightforward and painless. The main objective is to conduct a dental examination while working to thoroughly clean your teeth.
You can expect our friendly dental hygienists to do a few things during your standard teeth cleaning so that you can leave with your smile feeling refreshed. Once you are comfortable in the examination chair, we will:
- Remove plaque and tartar from around your gum line and in between teeth.
- Polish your teeth with a high-powered electric brush to get rid of any stains and leftover tartar.
- Gently floss to get deep between your teeth and locate any spots where you may bleed at the gums.
- Apply fluoride treatment if desired.
During the cleaning, our hygienist will use a series of tools designed to help aid the cleaning process. Though some make more noise than others, there is nothing to be afraid of.
It is not uncommon for X-rays to be done at least once a year during your teeth cleaning. The use of X-rays helps our hygienists, as well as local family dentists, detect any arising oral health issues and create a treatment plan before they worsen.
