Routine Dental Cleaning for the Fayetteville, NC Area
Even if you are diligent about brushing and flossing every day, you will never get your teeth as clean as professional equipment can. Experts recommend getting your teeth professionally cleaned at a dentist's office at least twice a year - more visits might be recommended if needed, but most patients only need two appointments.
During your dental cleaning, our hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums using specialized equipment and products. These cleanings remove plaque and help restore your teeth to clean condition. It also helps our family dentists to detect cavities or any other problems that might need to be addressed.
What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning
If you haven't been to the dentist in a while, you might have some apprehensions about the experience. We understand that visits to the dentist can be stressful, especially if you're not sure what to expect. When you visit us for your cleaning and checkup, our friendly hygienists will start out by welcoming you in and asking questions about any problems you might be experiencing. We will update your dental records as needed and schedule any X-RAYS that might be necessary for us to get a better look at your teeth. Next, we will use a small mirror to check your teeth and gums for any signs of potential concerns. If all is well, we will proceed to the dental cleaning.
During your cleaning, we will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. You'll hear and feel some scraping from our scaler, but this is normal. The more tartar your mouth contains, the more time we'll need to spend scraping a particular spot - but there will be no damage to your teeth. Brush and floss regularly to stop plaque and tartar from building up!
Once we remove all plaque and tartar from your teeth, we will brush them with a high-powered electric brush and a gritty toothpaste. This helps deep clean and polish your teeth!
Finally, we will floss your teeth to remove any remaining debris from your gums, then rinse out your mouth and apply fluoride if necessary. Fluoride acts as a protectant for your teeth, helping fight against cavities until your next appointment.
Our friendly professionals will work quickly and efficiently to get everything done and keep you comfortable. We are more than happy to answer any of your questions to help put you at ease.
Signs You Need a Teeth Cleaning
- Swollen or Bleeding Gums: If your gums look red and puffy or you notice blood when brushing, it is time to visit your dentist for a teeth cleaning. Swollen or bloody gums are a sign of a gum infection, and unfortunately, the longer you wait, the worse it will get.
- Sensitivity: There is nothing worse than eating something cold, hot, or sweet and feeling immediate pain. You may be overdue for a dental cleaning when your teeth become sensitive. After your dental cleaning, the dentist will be able to better determine the next steps for treatment.
- Visible Tartar: When you have waited too long to schedule your teeth cleaning, excess plaque will build up between your teeth and gums and can turn into tartar. While you may be able to remove some of the tartar on your own, it is best to schedule a teeth cleaning to ensure it is completely removed.
- Bad Breath: Typically, bad breath can be caused by consuming certain foods and will go away after a good brushing. If you find that your bad breath will not go away, you will want to consider having your teeth cleaned. The last thing you want to do is walk around with bad breath!
