What to expect during your professional teeth cleaning appointment with our dental hygienist
Dr. Shiva Talebi of Tooth Architect Dental Care of Sandy Springs, Georgia, is a dentist offering a selection of services for new and established patients, including general, cosmetic, and even preventative dentistry. Part of preventative care is attending routine professional teeth cleanings with our dental hygienist during your first appointment and every consecutive visit afterward. Let’s look at what you can expect during your appointment and discuss the benefits of this routine, preventative service at our clinic.
What is a professional teeth cleaning?
At Tooth Architect Dental Care, Dr. Shiva Talebi provides professional teeth cleanings before evaluating patients. This particular treatment is a routine dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and even bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gum line. It also includes polishing to remove stains and give you a bright, clean smile.
What are the advantages of routine professional dental teeth cleanings?
Professional teeth cleaning appointments have several benefits for patients. Some of these include:
- The prevention of tooth decay (cavities) and gum disease.
- Improvement in overall oral health and wellness.
- Removal of surface stains for a brighter, whiter smile.
- Reduction of halitosis (bad breath) caused by bacteria buildup.
- Saving patients money as a preventative treatment for more serious dental issues that may be expensive and timely to repair.
How often should I schedule professional teeth cleaning appointments?
The frequency of a patient’s professional teeth cleaning appointments will depend on their individual oral health needs. However, our team generally recommends having a cleaning twice a year. This ensures that any plaque buildup or tartar is effectively removed before causing more serious dental issues.
Is professional teeth cleaning painful?
Our professional teeth cleanings should not be painful, but we understand that some patients may fear the dental chair. Our dental hygienist utilizes specialized tools and techniques to gently remove plaque and tartar without causing discomfort. If you experience any sensitivity during the cleaning or have dental anxiety, our team can adjust the treatment to make you much more comfortable and ensure a positive experience for everyone involved!
What can I expect from my upcoming professional teeth cleaning appointment?
During your professional teeth cleaning appointment, our dental hygienist will first evaluate the overall health of your mouth and gums. They will then utilize specialized instruments to remove any noticeable plaque and tartar buildup, polish the teeth to remove any obvious surface stains, and floss between each tooth. After the cleaning, our dental hygienist may also apply a fluoride treatment designed to strengthen your teeth against future decay.
