Teeth Cleaning Procedure
- Assessment: Our dental hygienist examines your teeth and gums to identify any oral health concerns.
- Scaling and polishing: Plaque and tartar buildup is carefully removed from the tooth surfaces using specialized tools. The teeth are then polished to remove surface stains
- Gumline cleaning: Thorough cleaning is performed along the gumline to eliminate plaque and prevent gum disease.
- Flossing and rinsing: Dental floss is used to clean between teeth, reaching areas that brushing cannot. A rinse helps to remove any remaining debris.
