What Happens During Dental Cleanings?
Your dental cleaning will begin by addressing the tartar and plaque buildup from your teeth, which is difficult to remove at home, no matter how often you brush and floss. Special instruments are used to carefully scale buildup without affecting the enamel. To start, an ultrasonic device addresses large chunks of plaque and tartar with a lubricating mist and high-speed vibrations. Next, a fine handheld instrument, like a curette or scaler, will remove any remaining buildup. Every tooth needs to be scaled to remove all the plaque and tartar. Once your teeth are clean, your enamel will be carefully polished to remove stains and strengthen the teeth. A fluoride treatment may be done after your cleaning.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Cleanings?
Individuals from Frisco, Prosper, and McKinney, TX who undergo regular oral cleanings can expect to enjoy several benefits following their procedure, like:
- Opportunity to elect for fluoride treatment to strengthen and protect teeth
- Diminishment of tartar and plaque accumulation
- Improvement of overall tooth health and appearance
- Avoiding problems, such as cavities, or more serious issues before they advance
