Routine dental cleanings are necessary in order to prevent potential dental and medical issues, such as gum disease, infection, and more. Visiting Avenues Dentistry twice a year will improve your oral health and reinforce your home-care oral health regimen of brushing and flossing.
Comprehensive Dental Cleanings
When you come in for a dental cleaning at Avenues Dentistry, our friendly dental team will assist you in helping you relax and enjoy your cleaning. Here’s what you can expect with our comprehensive dental cleanings.
- X-rays & Examinations
Our dental team will begin with an initial comprehensive exam and x-ray. This will help us view any impacted or erupted teeth. This initial exam will allow our team to tailor your dental cleaning to your specific oral health needs.
- Plaque Removal
Our dental hygienist will use a scaler to remove any plaque and tartar between your teeth and the gum line. Keep in mind that tartar can only be removed at a dental office with the right training and tools.
- Toothpaste Cleaning and Flossing
Once the plaque and tartar are removed, our dental hygienist will use a powerful toothbrush to further clean your teeth. Then, we’ll floss your teeth to prevent bacteria build up and gum disease.
- Rinsing and Fluoride Treatments
After brushing and flossing, we’ll remove any leftover toothpaste with a quick rinse. If necessary, we may provide a fluoride treatment to strengthen the enamel of the teeth.
