Dental cleaning

Dental cleaning is a professional treatment  that deeply cleans teeth and gums, eliminating tartar and plaque.  It is recommended to perform a cleaning every six months or once a year, depending on the individual needs of each person.

The collaboration between the dental hygienist and the patient is essential to maintain a good oral hygiene.  Our dental hygienists will help you take care of your teeth and gums, and give you personalized advices.

Dental scaling is important for several reasons:

• It removes the plaque and tartar that accumulate on the teeth and can lead to cavities and gum problems.
• It helps prevent bad breath.
• It assists in removing stains and discolorations, giving the teeth and gums a cleaner and healthier appearance.
• It helps prevent periodontal disease and potential premature tooth loss.

Here are the steps of a dental cleaning:

 

  • Preparation: Before the cleaning, the dental hygienist examines the mouth and teeth to ensure that there are no contraindications to it.  She may also take X-rays to see in between the teeth, and the alveolar bone.
  • Teeth cleaning: To remove plaque and tartar, the dental hygienist uses an ultrasonic scaler. This device sends vibrations that help remove plaque and tartar.
  • Removing of tartar and plaque residues using manual instruments.
  • Polishing: once the tartar is removed, the hygienist performs a dental polishing using  an aero-polisher (airflow), or with polishing pastes.  
  • Fluoridation : Depending on the individual risk of each patient, the dental hygienist can perform professional fluoridation to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities.
  • Once the cleaning is complete, the dental hygienist provides personalized advice  to maintain a good oral hygiene by taking into account your specific needs and lifestyle habits.
