What is a Dental Cleaning?

A dental cleaning is a professional procedure carried out by a dental hygienist or dentist. It includes scaling to remove plaque and tartar buildup, polishing the teeth, and evaluating the health of your gums. This essential service helps maintain oral hygiene and prevents a variety of dental issues.

A typical dental cleaning involves several important steps to ensure your mouth stays in top condition:

  • Oral Hygiene Advice: Our team will offer tips and instructions to help improve your at-home oral care routine.
  • Comprehensive Exam: Your dentist or hygienist will check your teeth and gums for any signs of issues.
  • Scaling: Removal of plaque and tartar from the teeth.
  • Probing: Measuring the depth of your gums to check for any early signs of gum disease.
  • Polishing: Smoothens your teeth for a clean, shiny finish.
  • Fluoride Treatment: An optional fluoride treatment to help strengthen your enamel.

How Often Should You Schedule a Cleaning?

Most dentists recommend having your teeth cleaned every six months. However, depending on your oral health and medical history, you may need to schedule cleanings more frequently. At Princeview Dental, we tailor our recommendations to your unique needs, ensuring you get the best care possible.

Benefits of Regular Teeth Cleanings

Consistent dental cleanings offer a wide range of benefits:

Removing plaque regularly helps prevent tooth decay.

Cleanings reduce the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis by removing bacteria that can cause gum disease.

Professional cleanings eliminate odor-causing bacteria for longer-lasting fresh breath.

Regular visits make it easier for your dentist to spot any potential issues early on, leading to quicker, more effective treatments.

Teeth Cleaning vs. At-Home Care

While daily brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining your oral health, they can’t replace professional cleanings. Some areas of your mouth are hard to reach with at-home tools, and only a dentist or hygienist has the equipment to thoroughly clean and polish your teeth. Regular professional cleanings work hand-in-hand with your at-home routine, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your dental health.
