the Process

During a cleaning, the dentist or hygienist utilizes specialized tools to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gums. 

The process involves scaling, which entails scraping off deposits, followed by polishing to create smooth tooth surfaces. 

Importance of dental hygiene visits

Dental cleanings play a crucial role in preventing cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. 

They are typically accompanied by education on oral hygiene, including instructions on proper brushing and flossing techniques. 

Regular dental cleanings play a crucial role in maintaining the well-being of both teeth and gums while also assisting in the timely identification of potential dental problems.
