Everything You Need to Know About Teeth Cleaning

Posted by AV Dental Wellness Group on May 11 2021, 06:25 AM

There are over 700 species of microbes and a total of 6 billion bacteria residing in your mouth, as per the National Institute of Health. By brushing and flossing every day, you get rid of a large number of them, especially the harmful ones.

However, even the best oral care routine can’t fend off the constant buildup of bacteria in your mouth. This is because brushing and flossing won’t reach every nook and cranny of your teeth and hence can’t offer you the best protection. 

That’s where teeth cleanings come in. Read on to find out what teeth cleaning is all about, what happens during a cleaning procedure, and what you can expect when getting teeth cleaning done at AV Dental Wellness Group in Lancaster, California.

What Is Teeth Cleaning?

Teeth cleaning is a pain-free procedure in which a dentist or a dental hygienist uses specialized equipment to clean all the plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and give you a fresher smile. 

There are four steps involved in typical teeth cleaning session:

The Preliminary Exam

We will conduct a preliminary examination to check your oral overall health before starting the cleaning process. This examination involves checking the inner side of your teeth and gums to rule out any major oral concerns.

Removing Tartar and Plaque

After the test, the dental hygienist will clean the tartar and plaque off the surface of your teeth as well as in between them. This is done using a scraping tool and takes a few minutes.

Toothpaste Cleaning and Flossing

For the next step, the dental hygienist uses toothpaste and a high-power electric toothbrush to clean your teeth completely. Next, they will carry out a professional flossing session to get rid of any remaining plaque or tartar deposits on or between your teeth.

Rinsing

Rinsing is the final step in the teeth cleaning process. Here, the dental hygienist will use a special liquid that contains fluoride. 

Finally, to top things off, they will apply a fluoride treatment by fitting a mouthguard and a foaming gel over your teeth to strengthen the tooth enamel and prevent decay.
