A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing. Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
"I have severe dental anxiety and my teeth are not in the best shape. These people made me feel safe and comfortable. They explained the process completely. Were transparent and up front about cost. I feel confident with my smile in their hands. So happy I chose them for my dental needs. I have already been referring friends and family to them."
