What Can I Expect From a Regular Teeth Cleaning?

Even with a good oral routine at home it is still important to have your teeth professionally cleaned on a regular basis. A dental hygienist will usually be responsible for teeth cleaning.
Key takeaways:

• After an initial exam, a scaler will be used to remove any tartar, a hardened type of plaque.
• An electric brush and a grainy toothpaste are used to deeply clean and polish the teeth.
• The cleaning is completed with a mouth rinse and possibly a fluoride treatment to help prevent cavities.“If evidence of gum disease is present, the hygienist will consult with your dentist who may discuss the possibility of a deeper cleaning process, also called a root planing and scaling.”
