Professional teeth cleaning involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your teeth, which helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. Even with regular brushing and flossing, some areas of your teeth are hard to reach, so professional cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health.
It is generally recommended to get a professional cleaning every six months. However, if you have specific dental conditions such as gum disease or a higher risk of cavities, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits to keep your oral health in check.
Professional teeth cleaning is typically not painful. You may experience mild discomfort if you have sensitive gums or excessive tartar buildup, but our hygienists at Bellagio Dental Implant Center use gentle techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
During a professional teeth cleaning, our hygienists will remove plaque and tartar using specialized tools, clean your teeth with a gritty toothpaste, and finish with flossing and polishing. In some cases, fluoride treatment may also be applied to protect your teeth from decay.
While professional teeth cleaning is not specifically a whitening treatment, it does remove surface stains caused by food, drinks, and smoking. Many patients notice that their teeth look brighter and feel cleaner after a cleaning. For more dramatic whitening, a separate teeth whitening treatment can be discussed.
