What is a dental cleaning?

A hygienist performs dental cleanings. He or she is trained to detect and remove plaque and tartar from teeth and gum line. In short, plaque is a soft and sticky film caused by food particles and bacteria. When it hardens, it becomes plaque. Thus, your hygienist offers a consultation to improve your at-home dental care. For example, the hygienist will show you proper flossing techniques to reduce plaque and tartar buildup. In fact, this is a great opportunity to also learn about better brushing techniques to maintain a healthier smile.

The procedure consists of using a scalar and small mirror to remove the buildup. Once the buildup has been removed, the hygienist uses a powered toothbrush and gritty toothpaste to polish the teeth. Next, the patient rinses and a fluoride treatment may be suggested to protect the teeth from decay. The treatment is a varnish which lasts for a few months.
