What Happens at Your Teeth Cleaning Appointment?
Teeth cleaning is a routine dental procedure to remove plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) buildup from your teeth. Our dental hygienists carefully clean areas that brushing and flossing can’t reach. This preventive measure protects your oral health and promotes early detection of potential dental issues. Regular teeth cleaning can significantly reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns.
“I visited Cheek Dental for a routine cleaning. Leslie was my hygienist, that performed my cleaning and she was AMAZING. She explained everything she was going to do, prior to doing it and asked if I had any questions about the procedure. Thank you Leslie, for providing me with an awesome experience.” – Renaldo Young
What Are the Benefits of Routine Teeth Cleaning?
Routine teeth cleaning has long-term advantages for your teeth and smile:
- Reduces the risk of cavities and gum diseases
- Helps in the early detection and treatment of dental issues
- Minimizes bacteria buildup and bad breath
- Enhances the longevity of your natural teeth
- Reduces the risk of costly dental treatments
- Removes stains and brightens your smile
How Often Do You Need Teeth Cleaning?
Dr. Cheek may recommend getting a dental cleaning every six months but will base the schedule on your unique needs. She may increase the frequency of your visits if you have gum disease risks.
Will You Need a Deep Dental Cleaning?
If you have signs of moderate to advanced gum disease or haven’t had a cleaning in a long time, Dr. Cheek may recommend deep cleaning (scaling and root planing). A deep cleaning goes beyond routine hygiene appointments. It treats gum disease or excessive tartar buildup at and below the gumline, including tooth roots.
How Can You Keep Your Teeth Clean at Home?
An oral hygiene routine keeps your teeth clean and healthy. You can support your oral health by brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing daily. While home care is essential, regular checkups and cleanings at Cheek Dental will ensure optimal oral health.
