TEETH CLEANING

A genuine smile comes from the heart, but a healthy smile needs good dental care.

PROFESSIONAL TEETH CLEANING

Maintaining optimal oral hygiene is essential for a healthy, radiant smile. Professional teeth cleaning at North Texas Family and Cosmetic Dentistry goes beyond brushing and flossing, targeting stubborn plaque, and tartar to prevent dental issues.

Our team provides comprehensive dental cleaning, ensuring you achieve and maintain excellent oral hygiene at all times.

WHAT IS TEETH CLEANING?

Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and stains that daily brushing cannot eliminate. Our hygienists use advanced tools to thoroughly clean and polish your teeth, leaving them smooth, shiny, and free from harmful bacteria. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

COMMON SYMPTOMS INDICATING THE NEED FOR TEETH CLEANING

You may need a professional dental cleaning if you experience:

Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath
Yellow or discolored teeth
Sensitive or inflamed gums
Visible tartar buildup

Many patients are surprised at the large amount of surface area that we examine during an oral exam. At every hygiene visit, we examine all the tissues of your mouth, including gums, cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw.

It is just as important to have regular soft tissue screenings as it is to have a professional dental cleaning.
Oral cancer can afflict anyone, although tobacco users put themselves at a significantly higher risk than non-users. Chewing tobacco has up to 3000 different chemicals, including the same compounds used in pesticides and embalming fluid.

Cellular changes below the surface aren’t always detectable until they’ve advanced to a critical stage.Early detection and treatment of oral cancer can significantly increase your chances of a quick and complete recovery. The American Cancer Society reports that about 7,000 deaths result from oral cancer out of 30,000 cases diagnosed annually.

Oral cancer often develops silently, presenting no apparent symptoms in its early stages. Our dentists at North Texas Family and Cosmetic Dentistry utilize oral cancer awareness tactics so that even regular screenings allow abnormalities to be detected early, improving treatment outcomes and significantly reducing risks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often should I schedule a professional teeth cleaning?

It’s recommended that a dental cleaning be scheduled every six months. Regular visits ensure that plaque and tartar buildup are effectively removed, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Frequent cleanings allow your dentist to monitor and address any problems early.

Is teeth cleaning painful?

Professional teeth cleaning is a comfortable and painless procedure for most patients. However, individuals with sensitive teeth or gum inflammation may experience slight discomfort. Our dental hygienists take every measure to ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible by using gentle techniques and addressing any discomfort promptly.

What should I expect during a teeth cleaning appointment?

During your appointment, the dental hygienist will:

Examine your teeth and gums
Remove plaque and tartar using specialized tools
Polish your teeth to remove minor stains and create a smooth surface
Floss thoroughly to remove debris between teeth
Apply a fluoride treatment if necessary to strengthen enamel and protect against cavities

Can teeth cleaning prevent gum disease?

Yes, regular professional cleanings are one of the most effective ways to prevent gum disease. By removing plaque and tartar that harbor harmful bacteria, teeth cleaning reduces the risk of gum inflammation and infection.

Are deep cleanings different from routine cleanings?

Yes, deep cleanings (periodontal cleanings) target bacteria below the gumline and are typically recommended for patients with gum disease. Routine cleanings focus on removing plaque and tartar above the gumline to maintain overall oral hygiene.
