Why regular cleanings matter
What happens during a dental cleaning?
There are two methods for performing dental cleanings: hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers. Hand instruments are designed to remove deposits from the teeth, while ultrasonic scalers use water and vibrations for cleaning. Our hygienist may use a combination of both methods for the best results.
During a routine cleaning, the focus is on the surface areas around the tooth's neck, above or slightly below the gumline. This process is usually painless and simple. However, for patients with sensitive teeth or other dental issues that may cause discomfort, we can provide numbing gels or local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience.
