A teeth cleaning is a prophylactic dental treatment performed to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. Regularly scheduled teeth cleanings are vital to prevent gum disease and gingivitis. Dental Cleanings are an effective procedure for keeping the oral cavity in proper health and reversing the progression of gum disease.
The benefits include:
- Fresher breath. Halitosis or bad breath is generally indicative of advancing periodontitis. A combination of rotting food pieces (possibly below the gum line) and potential gangrene caused by gum infection, results in bad breath. The removal of plaque, calculus, and bacteria can significantly reduce halitosis and infection of the gums.
- A healthier-looking smile. Stained and yellowed teeth can negatively affect the esthetics of a smile. Teeth Cleanings are an effective treatment in ridding the teeth of these unpleasant stains.
- Plaque removal. Tartar, also referred to as calculus, and plaque buildup, above and below the gum line, can result in severe periodontitis. Unfortunately, even with a proper home brushing and flossing routine, it can be difficult to remove all tartar, plaque, and deposits from gingival pockets. The experienced eye of a dentist or hygienist using specific dental equipment is necessary to treat potentially damaging buildup.
