What Is Done During An Orlando Dental Cleaning?
Dental cleanings are also an important part of maintaining oral health because they remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss, helping to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Our dental cleaning process is designed to ensure thorough plaque and tartar removal while maintaining your comfort. When you arrive for your cleaning appointment, our dental hygienist will begin by conducting a visual examination of your mouth to see if there are specific areas of plaque buildup, or if any oral health issues are present. If any concerning issues are detected, they will consult our dentist for guidance on the next steps. Should a serious issue arise, the cleaning may be paused to address this first under the supervision of our Orlando dental team. If no issues are detected, our hygienist will continue with the dental cleaning, including:
- Removing Tartar & Plaque – The heart of the cleaning process involves the meticulous removal of plaque and tartar buildup, which can be challenging to reach with routine brushing and flossing at home. Using specialized tools like scalers, our hygienists will gently and effectively remove these deposits. This process should not hurt, so you don’t have to worry about a painful experience.
- Polishing The Teeth – After removing the tartar and plaque from the hard-to-reach areas, we proceed with polishing your teeth using a gritty tooth polish and a high-powered brush. You’ll have the opportunity to choose your favorite flavor tooth polish, so you don’t have to worry about having an unpleasant taste in your mouth.
- Flossing – After polishing, our hygienist will meticulously floss between your teeth to eliminate any remaining plaque. Flossing also allows them to assess areas where gum bleeding may occur.
- Rinse – A gentle rinse is conducted to remove any residual tooth polish and bits of plaque or tartar left in the mouth. This leaves your mouth feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Throughout the cleaning, our priority is your comfort, and all the tools we use are safe, so you don’t need to worry about any discomfort. At Nulife Cosmetic Dentist Orlando, we prioritize your comfort and well-being during every dental cleaning, ensuring that your smile is refreshed, and your oral health at its best.
