Why is professional teeth cleaning important?

The main goal of professional teeth cleaning is to prevent or delay the progression of periodontal diseases and to make your teeth whiter.  Gum disease, a prevalent form of periodontal disease, is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults over age 40.  Untreated periodontal diseases have been link to serious medical complications such as heart attacks and strokes.  That's why it is very important to schedule visits every 6 months.

What is involved in a dental cleaning?

Our typical professional dental cleaning procedure includes:

  • Plaque removal: Plague is a chalky substance that naturally accumulates on your teeth and destroys your tooth enamel resulting in tooth decay.
  • Tartar removal: Also known as Calculus, is hardened, mineralized plaque.  It's rough surface provides an ideal medium for further plaque formation, which can irritate the lining between the tooth and gum causing gingivitus.
  • Polishing: Polishing leaves the surfaces of teeth clean and smooth so that bacteria are unable to stick to them.  It also aids keeping teeth clean during regular home care.
