Benefits of Professional Dental Cleanings
Consumption of foods and drinks leads to the accumulation of plaque on the tooth surfaces, which harbors many harmful oral bacteria. Without proper oral hygiene practices, plaque can harden into a substance called tartar. It is harder to remove with brushing and requires professional help. That’s why our dentists recommend routine dental cleanings.
This simple, non-invasive procedure eliminates plaque and tartar deposits on the surfaces of your teeth. With routine cleanings, you will notice a significant reduction in the risk of common dental issues such as cavities, tooth infections, and gingivitis. This procedure also removes external stains on the teeth, leaving you with a brighter, more radiant smile.
How Often Should You Get Dental Cleanings
The American Dental Association recommends getting your teeth professionally cleaned every six months to maintain optimum oral health. At our Houston, TX, practice, we offer biannual teeth cleanings as a part of our preventive dental care. During these visits, we will also evaluate your overall oral health to determine any existing concerns that may need immediate attention.
For patients with gum disease (also called periodontal disease), we may recommend more frequent exams and cleanings. Routine cleanings are an effective non-invasive therapy for gum disease, which often eliminates the need for more invasive treatments.
Question About Dental Cleanings
Painless and Comfortable Dental Cleanings
The procedure of a dental cleaning is comfortable and usually requires 30 to 40 minutes. It generally does not require the use of a local anesthetic, but if your teeth are highly sensitive, we may use a topical gel to numb the area. Our dentist will use a special cleaning device to remove the deposits on the surfaces of your teeth. During the process, we will pay special attention to the areas along the gum line for more effective cleaning.
After the process, we will apply a polishing paste on your teeth and rub it in with an electric brush. It removes minor stains and gives you a sparkly white smile!
