Teeth Cleaning & Polishing
A clean, healthy smile is the foundation of good oral hygiene. At our clinic, our Teeth Cleaning & Polishing services provide a deep clean that not only leaves your teeth feeling fresh but also helps prevent gum disease and cavities. This essential part of your dental care routine keeps your mouth healthy and your smile shining.
What is Teeth Cleaning & Polishing?
Teeth cleaning is a professional procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, helping to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. Polishing follows the cleaning, leaving your teeth smooth and shiny, enhancing both their appearance and health.
Benefits of Teeth Cleaning & Polishing
Prevents Cavities
Regular cleaning removes plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that builds up on teeth and can lead to decay if left untreated.
Gum Disease Prevention
Tartar buildup can cause gum inflammation (gingivitis) or more serious gum disease (periodontitis). Professional cleanings target this buildup to keep your gums healthy.
Fresher Breath
Removing plaque and tartar from your teeth and below the gum line significantly reduces bad breath.
Stain Removal
Polishing helps eliminate surface stains from food, drinks, and tobacco, giving your teeth a cleaner, brighter appearance.
Better Overall Health
Maintaining a healthy mouth reduces the risk of other health issues, including heart disease and diabetes, which are linked to poor oral hygiene.
What to Expect During a Teeth Cleaning & Polishing Session
Examination
Before the cleaning begins, your dentist or hygienist will perform a brief oral exam to check for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues.
Plaque and Tartar Removal (Scaling)
Using specialized tools, we’ll remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and around the gum line. This process is called scaling, and it’s essential for preventing decay and gum disease.
Teeth Polishing
After the scaling, your teeth will be polished with a high-powered toothbrush and a special polishing paste. This step smooths your teeth and removes minor surface stains, giving your smile a fresh shine.
How Often Should You Get Teeth Cleaning & Polishing?
The general recommendation is to have a professional cleaning and polishing every 6 months. However, if you are prone to gum disease, cavities, or have other oral health concerns, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. Regular visits not only help maintain your oral health but also give your dentist the opportunity to spot potential problems early.
