Teeth cleaning is performed by one of our trained oral hygienists.
It involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth to prevent bacteria, infection, and decay from threatening both the health of your mouth, and your whole body.
Plaque is a soft, sticky film that lines your teeth and mouth. Plaque forms very quickly and is impossible to remove permanently, which is why regular cleaning at home, and regular checkups at the dentist, are so important.
Tartar is a build-up of calcium around the base of the teeth. Calcium is found in saliva, which helps to strengthen the teeth and keep them healthy.
Over time the calcium builds up and forms solid deposits around the base of the teeth. These can only be removed with special scraping tools.
Oral health check-ups can help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other infections within the mouth.
Gum disease is when bacteria from plaque deteriorates the tissue and gums. It can be seen with inflammation, swelling and bleeding. Our goal as your oral health providers is to keep your teeth healthy and avoid this. Gum disease is very common. It can typically be kept at bay through proper oral hygiene, and even if it starts it can be effectively stopped early on if you’re consistent with brushing and flossing your teeth.
