Teeth Cleaning and Polishing

Teeth cleaning and polishing are essential dental procedures that help maintain oral hygiene and improve the appearance of your smile. Cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and stains from the tooth surface, while polishing smooths the teeth, making it harder for plaque to accumulate. These procedures are typically quick, painless, and play a vital role in preventing gum disease and tooth decay.

Benefits of Teeth Cleaning and Polishing

• Removes plaque and tartar buildup
• Prevents gum disease and tooth decay
• Eliminates surface stains for a brighter smile
• Freshens breath and promotes oral health
• Helps maintain healthy gums

Procedure for Teeth Cleaning and Polishing

• Examination of teeth and gums by the dentist or hygienist
• Use of ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments to remove plaque and tartar
• Cleaning of hard-to-reach areas between teeth and below the gumline
• Polishing the teeth using a special paste to smooth surfaces and remove stains
• Fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen enamel (optional)

Regular teeth cleaning and polishing, along with proper oral hygiene habits, are important to maintain a healthy mouth and prevent dental problems. It is recommended to visit your dentist every six months for professional cleaning and check-ups.
