Cleanings
DENTAL CLEANINGS
Regularly scheduled professional cleanings are critical to maintaining a healthy mouth and beautiful smile. During your cleaning appointment, our hygienist will examine your mouth and perform the following procedures.
REMOVE PLAQUE
Tooth decay (cavities) is caused by the buildup of plaque which is a sticky film containing bacteria that attack tooth enamel. The bacteria also produce toxins that inflame the gums, leading to periodontal disease. Preventative cleanings reduce your risk of developing cavities and periodontal disease.
REMOVE TARTAR
Plaque left on teeth over time hardens and becomes calculus (tartar). It can only be removed with dental tools. Tartar builds up from the top – down pushing the gum tissue away from the tooth over time. This can cause gums to bleed, leading to periodontal disease and bone loss.
POLISH TEETH
This final step removes minor stains and any remaining plaque, making teeth their whitest and brightest!
For most people, Chew Chew Dental recommends a professional cleaning every six months to keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong.
