What is a professional dental cleaning?

Many people only visit a dentist when they have pain or other obvious problems. However, routine dental visits are the surest way to keep your smile healthy and beautiful. A dental cleaning (oral prophylaxis) thoroughly cleans your teeth to remove stubborn plaque and tartar, the primary cause of numerous issues in your mouth.

A dental cleaning is more than the oral hygiene you do at home. During professional teeth cleaning, the dental hygienist uses special tools and skills to access all areas of the mouth, including the hard-to-reach ones. Every mouth has “trouble spots” that aren’t effectively cleaned with home dental tools. Dentists and dental hygienists are specially trained to remove troublesome dental calculus from between teeth and beneath the gum line. 

Why routine dental cleanings are important

We can’t stress enough the importance of routine dental cleanings. Here are a few reasons you shouldn’t skip a regular dental check-up.

• Early detection: Dental cleanings allow the dentist to scrutinize your mouth for obvious and subtle signs of infections, decay, etc., to allow for prompt treatment
• Prevention: Routine exams at our office prevent numerous oral problems, including bad breath, gum disease, and cavities
• Cost-effective: A few dollars spent with a routine dental exam can save you thousands of dollars down the line. Early detection or prevention of oral problems prevents the need for costly and time-consuming dental procedures
• Aesthetics: Professional cleanings remove surface stains and unattractive tartar to keep your smile bright and vibrant
