What to Expect at Your Dental Cleaning

When you come in for a standard appointment, our trusted team starts by taking a close look at your teeth and gums. We check for cavities and excessive plaque or tartar. This may require some quick X-rays. We also measure the space between your teeth and gums to look for early signs of periodontal disease.

After this, we clean. Our main concern is eliminating tartar build up. Tartar develops from plaque and cannot be removed with flossing or brushing. Thankfully, our skilled dental hygienists can scale tartar away using medical-grade tools. When the scaling is complete, we polish your teeth to give them a brand new shine and remove any surface stains. Lastly, we floss in between each tooth to ensure total plaque removal.

How Often Should I Visit The Dentist?

It is recommended that you visit the dentist for a professional cleaning and examination at least once every six months. Preventative dentistry is an important factor when it comes to maintaining good oral health. However, if you suspect changes in your dental health or experience toothaches and gum discomfort, book an appointment sooner.
