Teeth Cleaning

While dental emergencies can happen at any time, patients that receive regular preventive cleanings usually have significantly fewer dental problems over time. Professional cleanings with a registered dental hygienist using an ultrasonic scaler allow us to provide proactive care that will keep your teeth and gum health optimized. Deposits of plaque, tartar, and calculus, can adhere to your teeth, and become biofilm platforms for further proliferation of bacteria leading to gum disease. If left untreated, it can become a chronic problem resulting in bleeding when brushing (i.e. gum inflammation), bone loss, and even tooth loss.

When you visit us at your regular cleaning visits, we can remove these biofilm deposits and smooth the teeth to create a less plaque retentive environment, leaving you with a cleaner, brighter smile!
