Regular professional teeth cleanings play a vital role in preventing dental problems and ensuring your overall well-being.
Although each procedure varies subtly there are some basic guidelines to treat cavities and they are followed by all dental professionals.
The dental hygienist begins by reviewing your dental history and discussing any concerns or changes in your oral health.
A visual examination of your teeth and gums is conducted to identify any visible issues or areas of concern.
Using specialized tools, the hygienist carefully removes plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth. This step is crucial for preventing cavities and gum diseases.
If there is a significant amount of tartar buildup, scaling may be performed. This involves using manual or ultrasonic scalers to remove deposits from the tooth surfaces, including below the gumline.
Once the teeth are free from plaque and tartar, the hygienist uses a high-powered electric brush and a gritty toothpaste to polish the teeth. This step removes surface stains and gives the teeth a smooth finish.
The dental hygienist offers guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing techniques, as well as dietary recommendations for maintaining optimal oral health.
Following the cleaning, the dentist may conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, reviewing X-rays if necessary, to identify any underlying issues that may require attention.
