What to Expect When You Have Your Teeth Cleaned

Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining a healthy, bright smile. Even with proper brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up over time, leading to cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. At Radiant Smile Studio, we aim to make your teeth cleaning experience comfortable and effective.

Why Are Professional Cleanings Important?

Professional dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that daily brushing may miss. They also provide an opportunity for your dentist to check for early signs of potential oral health problems.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?

Here’s what you can expect when you come in for a professional teeth cleaning:

1. Initial Examination – Before cleaning begins, your dentist or hygienist will examine your teeth and gums to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns.

2. Plaque & Tartar Removal – Using special dental instruments, plaque and hardened tartar are carefully removed from your teeth, especially around the gum line and between teeth.

3. Deep Cleaning with Professional Tools – A high-powered electric brush and gritty toothpaste are used to polish your teeth and remove surface stains.

4. Flossing & Rinsing – Your hygienist will expertly floss between your teeth to remove any remaining debris and ensure your gums are healthy.

5. Fluoride Treatment (Optional) – To help strengthen enamel and prevent cavities, a fluoride treatment may be applied to your teeth.

6. Final Checkup & Oral Health Tips – Your dentist will review the cleaning results, discuss any areas of concern, and provide recommendations for maintaining your oral health.

How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Cleaned?

Most people should have a professional dental cleaning every six months. However, individuals with gum disease or other oral health conditions may require more frequent visits.
