The Essential Benefits of Professional Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings provide advantages beyond daily brushing and flossing. Our hygienists effectively remove hardened plaque and tartar that accumulate in hard-to-reach areas, thereby preventing tooth decay and gum inflammation.
Regular cleanings also allow us to detect early signs of oral health issues before they escalate into serious problems, saving you time and money on extensive treatments. Additionally, professional cleanings help brighten your smile by removing surface stains from coffee, tea, and other foods, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and looking their best.
What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning
During your dental cleaning at Ridgepoint Dental, our experienced hygienist starts with a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to identify any areas of concern. Using specialized instruments, we carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gumline. We prioritize your comfort and use techniques to enhance your experience.
Your teeth are then polished with professional-grade paste to remove surface stains and smooth the tooth surfaces. We conclude with a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and provide additional protection against decay. Dr. Kamalpreet Shallu will review your cleaning results and discuss any recommendations for maintaining optimal oral health.
