Frequently Asked Questions
Professional teeth cleaning, also known as dental prophylaxis, is a procedure performed by our dentist or dental hygienist to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. It’s essential for preventing the accumulation of plaque and tartar, which are the primary causes of tooth decay and gum disease. Regular teeth cleanings help maintain good oral hygiene, prevent bad breath, and enhance the overall health of your mouth.
The American Dental Association recommends that adults have their teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year. However, the frequency can vary depending on individual oral health needs. Patients with a history of periodontal disease or other oral health issues may require more frequent cleanings.
A teeth cleaning appointment typically involves several steps: examination of your oral cavity, removal of plaque and tartar using specialized dental tools, thorough cleaning of teeth with abrasive toothpaste, professional flossing, and finally, a fluoride treatment to strengthen the teeth. Our dentist or hygienist may also offer personalized advice on improving your oral hygiene routine.
Professional teeth cleaning can remove surface stains caused by foods, drinks, or smoking, leading to a brighter smile. However, it may not address deep intrinsic stains, which might require cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening.
Teeth cleaning is generally a pain-free procedure. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort, especially if there’s significant tartar buildup or gum disease. However, our dental professionals use gentle techniques and can provide additional comfort measures if needed.
No, professional teeth cleaning is a safe procedure that does not harm the enamel. The techniques and tools used by our dental professionals are designed to clean teeth effectively without causing any damage to the tooth structure.
Teeth cleaning is a preventive procedure aimed at removing plaque and tartar to maintain oral health, while teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove stains and lighten the color of the teeth. Both services contribute to a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing smile but serve different purposes.
A typical teeth cleaning session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the condition of your teeth and gums. If it’s been a long time since your last cleaning, or if there are signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease, the session might take longer.
Post-teeth cleaning, you can usually return to your normal activities immediately. Your dentist might advise avoiding very hot or cold foods and beverages for a few hours if your teeth are temporarily sensitive after the cleaning.
- To maintain the benefits of professional teeth cleaning, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene at home. This includes brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, using an antiseptic mouthwash, and avoiding tobacco products. Also, remember to schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings.
