What to Expect During a Routine Cleaning (Spoiler: It's Not Scary!)
Hey there! Today, we’re busting the myth that dental cleanings are scary or mysterious. If it’s been a while since your last visit, or you’re just curious about what really goes down during a routine cleaning, this one’s for you. Let’s break it down step by step!
1. A Warm Welcome & Quick Check-In
You will be welcomed by our welcoming front desk staff (smiles included). Once a brief medical history update has been done, it's time to return and relax in the comfortable chair.
2. Let's Take a Peek
Your dentist begins by assessing your teeth and gums with the aid of a small mirror. This aids in identifying any problems such as plaque, tartar, or swelling.
3. Plaque & Tartar, Away!
Then there's scaling, which involves using a special instrument to carefully remove tartar and plaque from your teeth — particularly at the gum line. Don't worry — it's fast and completely painless.
4. Polishing Time!
When your teeth are free of tartar, we polish them using a high-powered electric toothbrush and gritty toothpaste. It's like a facial for your teeth, using exfoliant — and leaves them silky smooth!
5. Final Check-In with the Dentist
Dr. will answer any questions you may have.
And voilà — you're all done! In under an hour, you'll head out with a squeaky-clean grin and that fresh, just-cleaned feeling.
Schedule your next cleaning today — your future self (and teeth) will appreciate it!
