What Does Professional Teeth Cleaning Involve?
As one would expect, professional cleaning is a thorough cleansing of the teeth but a bright smile is far from the only goal. Ideally carried out every six months, professional cleaning affords a dentist the opportunity to remove built-up plaque and tartar. The dentist will also:
- Assess general dental health
- Check for potential issues such as forming cavities or early gum disease
- Screen for oral cancers as well as those of the neck, face and throat
The dentist will also usually floss the teeth to remove any possible leftover plaque and may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel and combat possible cavities. Read more at https://yourdentalhealthresource.com/teeth-cleaning/.
