Teeth Cleaning: A Preventive Treatment
The process of removing tartar and plaque from the gum margins or tooth surfaces is called teeth cleaning. Polishing is the removal of stains from the tooth surfaces with the help of an abrasive polishing paste. It is ideal to visit your dentist at Shelburne Smile Centre at least twice a year to get your professional teeth cleaning done.
What is the procedure for a dental cleaning at Shelburne Smile Centre?
The process of dental cleaning starts from assessing the oral health of the patients, the dental hygienist or the dentist examines the oral health of the patient that also includes checking the health of your gums and teeth, and may recommend X-rays, if there are any dental problems noticed.
The procedure of dental cleaning takes around half an hour to an hour according to the tartar and plaque accumulation. When your teeth are entirely tartar-free, the hygienist or the dentist will brush the teeth surfaces with a high-powered electric brush and polishing paste.
Everyone requires professional teeth cleaning, even if you have an attractive smile or you brush and floss daily. There are some areas in our mouth with accumulated food which can be cleaned only during a professional scaling, it can also impact your overall health by lowering your risk of pneumonia and other systemic problems by reducing the number of bacteria.
