Why do I need professional teeth cleaning?
Teeth cleaning is a common dental treatment that improves the health of your teeth and mouth. While regular brushing and flossing remove food particles and plaque from your teeth and gums, the plaque can harden and turn into tartar if it isn’t removed quickly enough.
Tartar traps bacteria on your teeth and increases your risk of cavities and gum disease. Professional teeth cleaning addresses the issue by using a special tool called a scaler to remove plaque and tartar, providing a deeper cleaning than what you can achieve with a toothbrush and floss.
When you schedule an appointment at JP Dental Care, you receive dental cleanings that help you establish effective dental hygiene to avoid issues involving oral infection and tooth decay.
What happens during teeth cleaning?
When you arrive at JP Dental Care for your teeth cleaning, the team examines your teeth and gums for signs of cavities and gum disease as part of your regular dental exam.
To begin the cleaning, they use a small mirror to guide them and a scaler to remove plaque and tartar from your gum line and between your teeth. Once they remove all of the tartar, they polish your teeth with a gritty toothpaste and an electric toothbrush.
After that, the team finishes your teeth cleaning with professional flossing to remove leftover plaque or toothpaste from earlier in the cleaning process. Before you leave, they’ll have you rinse your mouth with a fluoride solution that provides additional protection against cavities.
How frequently do I need teeth cleaning?
JP Dental Care recommends that you receive teeth cleaning with each dental exam, which should be every six months. However, depending on your oral health needs, your provider may recommend fewer or more cleanings.
You may require more frequent teeth cleaning if you have a history of gum disease, take medication that makes your mouth dry, or have certain health conditions. Smokers should also receive more frequent teeth cleaning to prevent common dental issues associated with tobacco use.
