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
Dental Cleaning Reviews
I got my cleaning done, and it went well. Been coming here for years with Dr. Long and he's been great! Will continue to come back!
Dr Long and his staff were amazing. From the deep cleaning, to the 3 fillings I needed, all went according to plan without hiccup. His front desk staff and dental assistants were attentive and very friendly. Great job Tracey Dental!!
Dr. Long has always been so gentle! Just finished up my 6th cleaning with him. Staff and facility is always so friendly and clean! Highly recommend!!
The commercial was my exact experience!!Best teeth cleaning I’ve ever had. I wasn’t as nervous as I normally am when visiting the dentist!!I’m coming back !!!!
Visited Tracey Dental for my first visit. Upon entering the main office everyone was friendly. Dr. Long took the time to go over myX-rays with me and explain what I should continue to do to ensure my teeth stay healthy. While completing my cleaning, Dr. Long took the time to explain what was occurring and what he was going to do next.
