A dental cleaning is one of the most important procedures that you can have done. It helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy while also preventing issues like tooth decay or gum disease. A dental tooth cleaning is a routine procedure that every dentist recommends. Dental plaque, which is the microscopic film of food particles and bacteria on your teeth, can lead to cavities or gum disease if left untreated. The process of a dental tooth cleaning typically involves an examination of the gums for signs of inflammation, tooth decay, or bleeding; removal of any calculus (tartar) buildup on the teeth with special instruments; polishing off any rough spots on the chewing surfaces using different types of materials such as paper strips or rubber cups; and then applying fluoride varnish to protect against acid erosion from food and beverages. Once the cleaning is finished, the dentist will examine your teeth and gums to see if other treatments are necessary, such as deep cleanings to stop gum disease, teeth whitening, or oral cancer screenings. A dental tooth cleaning usually lasts for about 30 minutes or so, depending on how much work needs to be done. You will need to make sure you are up-to-date with the latest x-rays before any brushing or flossing takes place. A Bellflower dentist will also ask for a list of medications you are taking as well as allergies because these could affect the procedure.
