cleaning

taking care

Twice a year dental cleanings are an important part of oral health. Professional cleanings assist our patients in removing decay-causing plaque and tartar on and between the teeth and gums.

We use the same techniques you use at home – brushing and flossing – but the latest materials and technology, and the skill of a highly trained hygienist to thoroughly clean each surface in the mouth. For example:

• Sonic Scalers help us remove hard calcium deposits and stains using a gentle tip that vibrates at sonic speeds. 
• The Polisher uses a mixture of baking soda and water. Since it is a spray, the polisher can reach many tooth surfaces that other polishing methods cannot, such as the pits and fissures of chewing surfaces and the in-between surfaces where the teeth touch each other.

Our dental hygienists are as knowledgeable as they are gentle. As they clean your teeth, they will also help educate you about brushing and flossing techniques that can enhance your daily at-home maintenance.
