Maintain your oral health with regular teeth cleaning

Dental Cleaning: Maintain Your Oral Health

Dental cleaning is a simple procedure that is painless and causes no discomfort. It involves the removal of dental calculus using specialized tools to prevent or diagnose issues related to cavities, plaque, and gingivitis. The result provides a pleasant feeling of freshness, cleanliness, smoothness of the teeth, and a brighter smile.

What is the Process and What to Watch Out For!

The procedure is simple and easy. It begins with a clinical examination of the patient’s overall oral health. The examination is done using a small round mirror, allowing the dentist to identify any areas of concern. This is followed by ultrasonic cleaning to remove tartar and stains.

Frequent dental cleanings aim to maintain the health of the teeth and mouth overall, as well as to promptly diagnose more serious issues in the area.

What to Watch Out For After Dental Cleaning!

Dentists at our clinic recommend diligent use of a special mouth rinse for three days, as antisepsis is required due to the inflammation that may have occurred in the gums from the procedure.

Tips to Maintain Results Until Your Next Cleaning!

• Brush your teeth before bedtime.
• Don’t neglect brushing your tongue.
• Improve your diet and minimize sugar intake.
• Schedule dental cleanings every six months.
• Combine cleaning with whitening for perfect results.
