A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing. Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
"These are the BEST dentists I've probably ever been treated by. My children really like them as they make them comfortable and stress free. They also liked the "No Cavity Club" wall. Scheduling is very easy and the appointment time was as expected. Even the office was a comfortable temperature, no sub-zero jacket required. The best part about them is that they will not try to "upsell" un-needed procedures or otherwise pad the bill. Honest and professional."
