A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in around 50 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. Scaling 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.
"At the start of my visit, X-rays were done, followed by a well done and complete teeth cleaning. After looking over my x-rays, I had a wonderful discussion with the dentist in regard to possible future Procedures that may need to be done. I appreciate how dedicated employees of the Tooth Spa are with the needs of their clients."
