What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?

A professional dental cleaning, also known as a teeth cleaning, involves the removal of plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing and flossing may miss. At South Florida Laser Dentistry, our experienced hygienists use advanced tools to clean your teeth thoroughly, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and healthy. During the cleaning:

1. Plaque and Tartar Removal: A scaling tool is used to remove hardened plaque (tartar) from your teeth, especially around the gum line.
2. Polishing: Your teeth are polished with a gritty paste that removes surface stains, giving them a smooth, shiny finish.
3. Fluoride Treatment: For additional protection, we may apply fluoride, which strengthens your teeth and helps prevent cavities.

Routine dental cleanings can help prevent the need for more complex procedures like root canals or crowns, keeping your oral health in top condition.

How Often Should You Get a Teeth Cleaning?

We recommend scheduling a professional dental cleaning every six months. This frequency helps maintain healthy gums and teeth by preventing the buildup of harmful plaque. However, patients with gum disease or other oral health issues may require more frequent cleanings. Our team will work with you to create a personalized schedule that fits your dental health needs.

The Importance of Regular Dental Cleanings

Skipping regular teeth cleanings can lead to more serious dental issues over time, such as gum disease, tooth decay, and even tooth loss. Cleanings also allow your dentist to monitor your oral health and catch potential issues early. In addition, routine cleanings can:

• Improve Your Smile’s Appearance: Removing surface stains during a cleaning can brighten your teeth and enhance your smile.
• Prevent Bad Breath: Plaque buildup and gum disease are leading causes of bad breath. Regular cleanings help you maintain a fresh, clean mouth.
• Boost Overall Health: Studies show a link between oral health and conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. By keeping your teeth and gums healthy, you're supporting your overall well-being.
