When you visit your Newmarket dentist for a cleaning, your oral cavity will be evaluated followed by x-rays. This allows your dentist to establish a clear picture of your oral health situation. Next, the plaque and tartar are removed from your smile with a scaler. Your teeth are brushed and flossed afterward to get rid of any lingering bacteria. The fluoride treatment is the final step; whether it’s a gel, liquid, or varnish, it’ll sit on your teeth for a minute before you can spit and rinse.
The entire appointment shouldn’t take any more than an hour or so.
