Why Are Bi-Annual Dental Cleanings Important?
If it's been six months or longer since your last dental appointment or cleaning, consider scheduling one soon. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends teeth cleaning once every six months to maintain optimal oral health. This enables dentists to remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be removed by at-home brushing and flossing. During these appointments, we can also provide exams and oral cancer screenings to look for signs or concerns of a condition. Bi-annual cleanings will help you preserve and protect your oral health.
How Do Dental Cleanings Work?
We start by using an ultrasonic device that projects cooling water and vibrations onto the teeth, loosening and weakening larger pieces of tartar. Next, we use scalers and curettes to reach and remove tartar that's smaller or more hidden. After most of your buildup has been removed, a slow-speed handpiece will be applied to polish the teeth. Prophylaxis paste can be used to smoothen and shine the smile. Depending on your teeth's condition, we may apply fluoride to strengthen and improve their enamel.
