What Happens During A Teeth Cleaning?
Gum Health
Your gums are the unsung heroes of your smile, providing essential support to your teeth. We meticulously examine your tongue, gums, teeth, and every corner of your mouth, with a keen focus on the gum line to ensure overall oral health, free from inflammation or impending gum disease. Don’t worry; we won’t scold you about your flossing habits.
Plaque & Tartar Removal
Plaque, a soft, sticky film, can harden into stubborn tartar deposits if left unattended. Tartar often lurks in hard-to-reach areas, such as the gumline. Our expert hygienists skillfully remove plaque and tartar buildup, finally unveiling your gleaming teeth after polishing away stains.
Dentist Exam
Following a thorough cleaning, our dentists perform an examination, reviewing your chart and x-rays. They pinpoint any problem areas or concerning patterns, offering further treatment recommendations and valuable advice on preventing or addressing tooth decay, inflammation, or gum disease. We’re here to address your questions and any discomfort or dental pain you may have encountered. Your oral health is our priority.
