Dental cleanings are very straightforward, especially if you’re properly maintaining your smile at home. Brushing, flossing, and avoiding harmful habits between visits can make your appointment easier and more effective. Your hygienist will begin by using a scaler to remove any plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. They will then use a high-powered electric toothbrush for a thorough cleaning, followed by flossing. Finally, we’ll apply a fluoride solution for extra protection. You can also review what you should and shouldn’t do at home to keep your routine on track.
You should be visiting us at least twice per year, or every six months, for a professional cleaning. It’s an important step you need to take to keep your smile healthy and bright. This timeline also allows us to catch cavities, gum disease, and more at a very early stage.
A clean mouth is a healthy mouth. Here are some of the benefits you’ll notice when you see our highly trained team for a teeth cleaning visit.
Our goal at APEX Dental Care is to help you protect your smile, so you won’t need complex restoration procedures in the future. If it’s about time for your bi-annual cleaning, contact our friendly team today to schedule an appointment.
