Professional Cleaning & Fluoride Treatment

Professional teeth cleaning removes built-up plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. Using advanced tools and techniques, we carefully clean each tooth’s surface above and below the gum line, paying special attention to hard-to-reach areas where bacteria tend to accumulate.

We enhance your cleaning with professional fluoride treatments, providing an extra layer of protection for your teeth. This naturally occurring mineral strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent decay, making it an essential part of preventive care.

Definition of common dental cleaning terminology

Dental Prophylaxis: A dental checkup is an appointment that involves cleaning the teeth, identifying any signs of infection and removing said signs of infection at least once every six months in the office.

Preventive Dentistry: Preventive dentistry is the dentistry that focuses on maintaining oral health in order to prevent the spread of plaque, the formation of tartar and infections in the mouth.

Scaling and Root Planing: A “deep cleaning” procedure that removes plaque and tartar from teeth surfaces and beneath the gumline. It’s often used to treat gum disease.

Plaque: A sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If not removed regularly, it can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

Tartar: Hardened plaque that forms when plaque isn’t removed effectively. It can only be removed by a dental professional with special tools.
