A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing. Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
"I visited this dentist for the first time and had an amazing experience from the minute I walked through the door and all throughout the whole process. The space is beautiful. All of the staff are extremely friendly and professional. The equipment is brand new, cutting edge, and sparkling clean. The attention given to my dental exam and cleaning was second to none. I highly recommend this dentist right in the middle of our neighborhood! So convenient. I made future appointments before leaving!"
