A routine dental cleaning is a vital part of maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing dental problems. During the procedure, your dentist or dental hygienist carefully removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate.

Here’s what typically happens:

  1. Examination: The dentist checks your teeth and gums for signs of cavities, inflammation, or other concerns.

  2. Scaling: Specialized tools are used to gently remove plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and gumline.

  3. Polishing: Your teeth are polished with a gritty paste to remove surface stains and make them smooth.

  4. Fluoride Treatment (optional): A fluoride gel or rinse may be applied to strengthen enamel and prevent decay.

Routine cleanings help maintain fresh breath, healthy gums, and a bright smile. It’s recommended to visit the dentist every six months for best results.
