TEETH CLEANING

Professional Teeth Cleaning

Professional cleanings are an essential part of keeping your teeth shining and healthy. Even if you do an excellent job of brushing twice a day and flossing daily, there are some areas you can’t reach to keep clean. That’s where we come in.

When you come to District Smiles for your professional teeth cleaning, we start scraping away hardened plaque—called “tartar”—wherever it has accumulated. If tartar is not removed regularly, you are at much greater risk for cavities. A professional teeth cleaning is one of the most important things you can do to prevent cavities.

A professional cleaning finishes with a thorough polishing of all surfaces to clean away stains and leave your teeth shiny and smooth.

Cleaning Is Accompanied by an Examination

The additional service we provide with a cleaning is a thorough examination of all teeth, gums, and existing dental work. We can spot cracked fillings, crowns or bridges or teeth being worn down by grinding. By checking your x-rays, we can tell if there are impacted teeth, cavities forming between teeth or spots of infection below the gum line.

With regular, professional teeth cleaning accompanied by a thorough examination, you can catch any problems very early and deal with them immediately. Keeping a regular schedule of cleanings and examinations could help you avoid dental emergencies like toothaches or abscesses.
