During your teeth cleaning, the dental hygienist will thoroughly rid your teeth of any bacteria or plaque so you can have a bright, healthy smile. The cleaning begins with an examination of your oral health to check for cavities or gum infections.
Then, your hygienist will begin removing plaque and tartar by scraping it off before using a high-powered electric toothbrush with special toothpaste that ensures the removal of any leftover tartar. After this, they’ll floss and rinse your mouth.
There may be additional steps during your teeth cleaning depending on your oral health status.
