Below are some frequently asked questions about professional dental cleanings at Tooth Architect Dental Care of Sandy Springs, Georgia.
How often should I have my teeth professionally cleaned?
The American Dental Association recommends that adults and children have professional dental cleaning at least every six months. However, the frequency will vary greatly depending on your oral health needs. With a preventative dental philosophy, Dr. Shiva Talebi and her team at Tooth Architect Dental Care will assess your situation and recommend the appropriate schedule for your smile.
What is the process of professional dental cleaning?
A professional dental cleaning typically involves two main steps: scaling and polishing. First, your dental hygienist uses specialized instruments to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth, including those extremely hard-to-reach areas. Then, the hygienist polishes your teeth to remove any remaining stains and give them a smooth and shiny finish. This debridement and polish seals and protects your teeth from gum and dental disease.
What are the benefits of professional dental cleanings?
Regular dental cleanings at a dentist’s office can help prevent gum disease and tooth decay and improve oral health. They also allow for early detection and treatment of potential issues, such as cavities or oral cancer. Additionally, professional cleanings can help keep your breath fresh and give you a brighter smile.
