Dental Cleanings

Regular dental cleanings are essential not only for maintaining a bright smile but also for preventing a variety of oral health issues such as cavities and gum disease. At Select Dental Office, we provide comprehensive dental cleaning services that go beyond just polishing your teeth, helping you maintain optimal oral health.

Why Dental Cleanings are Important

‍Dental cleanings involve removing plaque and tartar that can build up on your teeth even with regular brushing and flossing. These cleanings are crucial because:

• Plaque contains bacteria that can lead to gum disease and tooth decay.
• Tartar, which is hardened plaque, can only be removed with professional dental tools.
• Regular cleanings help prevent bad breath and keep your smile looking its best.

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning

1. Examination: Each cleaning starts with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to check for any signs of oral health issues.
2. Scaling: Our dental hygienists use specialized tools to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gumline.
3. Polishing: After scaling, your teeth are polished with a gritty toothpaste that removes surface stains.
4. Flossing: As a final step, your teeth are expertly flossed to remove any remaining plaque or toothpaste from between your teeth.
5. Fluoride Treatment: Optionally, a fluoride treatment can be applied to help strengthen tooth enamel and fight decay.
