Dental Cleanings

What Are Dental Cleanings?

Dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, involve the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. This preventive measure is crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing dental problems such as tooth decay and periodontal disease.

The Importance of Regular Dental Cleanings

Regular dental cleanings offer numerous benefits:

• Prevents Cavities: Removes plaque buildup that can lead to tooth decay.
• Prevents Gum Disease: Eliminates tartar that can cause gingivitis and periodontal disease.
• Freshens Breath: Cleans away bacteria that cause bad breath.
• Enhances Your Smile: Polishes teeth to remove surface stains, leaving your teeth brighter.
• Overall Health: Helps maintain overall health by preventing oral infections that can affect other parts of the body.
  

The Dental Cleaning Procedure

1. Initial Examination: Dr. Scott Bonin or a dental hygienist will begin with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums.
2. Scaling: Using specialized tools, plaque and tartar are carefully removed from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gum line.
3. Polishing: Your teeth are polished to remove stains and smooth the tooth surface, making it more difficult for plaque to accumulate.
4. Fluoride Treatment: If needed, a fluoride treatment is applied to strengthen your teeth and protect against cavities. 
5. Final Check: Dr. Bonin will perform a final check to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and address any concerns you may have.

How Often Should You Get Dental Cleanings?

We recommend scheduling a dental cleaning every six months. However, some patients may need more frequent cleanings based on their oral health needs. Dr. Bonin will advise you on the best schedule for maintaining optimal oral health.
