Dental Cleanings
A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your
dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes.
Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent
excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to
unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should
include scaling, root planing and polishing.
Scaling
and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from
all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the
amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning,
making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future
plaque build-up.
