A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing.
Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
Your visit begins with an evaluation of your needs, dental history and treatment goals. The Sleep Better BCS team can explain whether dental cleanings is appropriate for your situation and review next steps.
Suitability depends on your oral health, symptoms and individual needs. An in-person evaluation in our College Station office is the best way to determine whether dental cleanings should be part of your care plan.
