Teeth Cleaning Near Me

Teeth cleaning is a good way to prevent bacteria populations from
growing and causing dental issues like tooth decay and gum disease.
According to the American Dental Association, individuals should visit
their nearby dental offices once every six months for dental exams and
cleaning.

We’ll tell you about the most common types of teeth cleaning
procedures you can find at our dental office.

Prophylaxis Dental Cleaning

This is a preventive teeth cleaning procedure done on healthy teeth.
A prophylaxis cleaning removes plaque and tartar from the front, back,
and sides of teeth using a dental scaler or water stream. If you already
have a healthy dental regime, a prophylaxis cleaning is an additional
teeth-cleaning procedure to help prevent disease.

Scaling and Root Planing Cleaning

Scaling and root planing cleaning is commonly referred to as deep
cleaning. In this procedure, we clean your teeth and gum pockets in
order to treat gingivitis and periodontitis. We do a deep cleaning
treatment in a single appointment. If you have advanced gum disease, you
may require additional steps which are administered in multiple
appointments. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from the tooth’s surface
and in the gum pockets below the gum line.

Periodontal Maintenance Cleaning

This involves routine teeth and gum cleaning for people who have
periodontal disease. When gum disease starts, it is treatable but when
it is already advanced, your hygienist will only perform routine
cleaning to control the disease.

Gross Debridement Cleaning

This is a heavy-duty teeth cleaning procedure suitable for teeth that
have copious amounts of plaque and tartar.
