Dental Cleanings

During your dental cleaning appointment, our hygienist will:

1. Plaque and Tartar Removal: Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth, and if not removed, it can harden into tartar. Our hygienist uses specialized tools to carefully remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
2. Teeth Polishing: After plaque and tartar removal, your teeth will be polished to remove stains and plaque that weren't removed during brushing and flossing. This helps to leave your teeth smooth and clean.
3. Expert Advice: Our hygienist will provide personalized advice on maintaining good oral hygiene at home, including proper brushing and flossing techniques tailored to your specific needs.
4. Comprehensive Examination: In addition to cleaning your teeth, our dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. This may include checking for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues.

Benefits of Regular Cleanings:

• Prevent Cavities: Removing plaque and tartar helps prevent tooth decay and cavities.
• Prevent Gum Disease: Cleanings reduce the risk of gum disease by removing bacteria that can cause inflammation and infection.
• Fresh Breath: Cleaner teeth and gums mean fresher breath and improved confidence.
• Early Detection: Regular cleanings allow our dental team to detect any oral health issues early, when treatment is often simpler and more effective.
