Dental Cleaning

At The Smile Connect - Advanced Dentistry & Implant Centre, we emphasize the importance of regular dental cleanings in maintaining optimal oral health. Our skilled Doctors perform thorough cleanings using advanced tools and techniques to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, helping to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

What is Dental Cleaning?

Dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a preventive dental procedure that involves the removal of plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gums. It is essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing dental problems.

Benefits of Dental Cleaning

• Plaque and Tartar Removal: Professional cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and stains that cannot be effectively cleaned by brushing and flossing alone.
• Prevention of Gum Disease: Regular cleanings help prevent gum inflammation (gingivitis) and more severe gum disease (periodontitis).
• Fresh Breath: Removing bacteria and food particles improves breath freshness.
• Early Detection of Dental Issues: During cleanings, our team can identify early signs of dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer.
• Improved Overall Health: Maintaining good oral health through regular cleanings is linked to reduced risks of systemic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

The Dental Cleaning Procedure

• Scaling: Plaque and tartar are carefully removed from the teeth, including below the gum line, using specialized instruments.
• Polishing: Teeth are polished to remove surface stains and create a smooth surface that resists future plaque buildup.
• Fluoride Treatment (if needed): Fluoride may be applied to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce sensitivity.
• Evaluation: Our hygienist will evaluate your oral health and provide recommendations for home care based on your individual needs.

Aftercare and Maintenance

To maintain the benefits of your dental cleaning, follow these tips:

• Brush and Floss Daily: Maintain good oral hygiene practices at home to prevent plaque buildup.
• Use Mouthwash: An antiseptic mouthwash can help reduce bacteria and freshen breath.
• Attend Regular Check-ups: Schedule routine dental visits to monitor your oral health and receive professional cleanings as recommended.
• Avoid Tobacco and Limit Staining Foods: Smoking and certain foods can contribute to plaque buildup and stains on your teeth.
