🦷 What Happens During a Teeth Cleaning?
Professional teeth cleaning is a painless procedure performed by skilled dental hygienists or dentists. Here’s what you can expect:
Step 1: Physical Exam
The dental professional will first examine your mouth for signs of gum disease, cavities, or other oral health issues.
Step 2: Removing Plaque and Tartar
Using specialized tools, plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) are carefully scraped off your teeth, especially around the gum line and between teeth.
Step 3: Teeth Polishing
After scaling, your teeth are polished with a gritty toothpaste and a rotating brush to remove surface stains and smooth the teeth.
Step 4: Flossing
The hygienist flosses between your teeth to remove any leftover debris.
Step 5: Fluoride Treatment (Optional)
A fluoride treatment may be applied to help protect your teeth from cavities.
