Effective Professional Cleaning for You

Here at Woodmoor Family Dentistry, we enforce the idea that preventive care is the backbone and foundation of an overall well state of oral health. Because of this, even our most generic service of professional teeth cleaning is executed with precise attentiveness and performed with only the most advanced and latest dental instruments for the task. Your visit to get routine cleaning performed will have you leaving with cleaner, refreshed, and healthier teeth.

Why Are Routine Dental Cleanings Necessary?

As you have probably heard several times before, the American Dental Association (ADA) advises routine dental cleanings should be received at least twice a year.

Even if one keeps up with a standard daily oral hygiene routine, it may not be enough to completely remove all debris from your teeth. The accumulation of plaque, a sticky, opaque coating of bacteria, can produce toxins that lead to the emergence of periodontal disease. Once this plaque hardens and cements itself onto the gum line, it develops into tartar, and at this state can only be removed with specialized dental instruments.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

During your initial visit, one of our extensively trained hygienists will begin assessing your oral health and status with a concise comprehensive examination. Once fully examined, your professional cleaning will commence, and our hygienist will remove the stains, plaque, and calculus (tartar) that have built up since your last dental visit.

After a polishing and flossing treatment is performed, you will be provided an additional strengthening fluoride treatment before you’re set to go. If any subsequent appointments are required, our hygienists or dentist will notify you, or you can talk to us about any concerns or other procedures you wanted to consult about.
