A professional dental cleaning at least twice a year can actually improve your oral health. Professional dental cleaning reinforces your oral health regiment at home. It also gives the dentist an opportunity to look at areas in the mouth that need special attention.
Those who regularly practice good oral hygiene typically do not experience discomfort during a dental cleaning. However, if you neglect your oral hygiene habits, you may experience some sensitivity during a cleaning. During a dental cleaning, you’ll receive diagnostic and preventive services from your dentist.
Diagnostic services:
- Reviewing and updating medical history
- Oral cancer screening
- Evaluation of gums and teeth
- Checking biting and chewing
- X-rays of teeth
Preventive services:
- Removal of plaque and tartar
- Stain removal
- Fluoride application
- Polishing teeth, including fillings and crowns
- Cleaning and adjustment of dentures
