What is a dental cleaning?
Over time, dental plaque accumulates on the teeth and gums. If it is not properly removed through effective and regular brushing, it mineralizes to form tartar. This creates a favorable environment for the development of oral diseases such as :
- Gingivitis: inflammation of the gums manifested by bleeding and abnormal redness.
- Periodontitis: a more advanced infection which, if untreated, can lead to tooth loosening and tooth loss.
- Dental cavities: progressive destruction of enamel causing pain and infections.
- Bad breath: caused by excessive bacterial growth
Regular dental cleaning helps prevent these problems and maintain a healthy mouth in the long term.
How does a dental cleaning session take place?
Our dentists and dental hygienists follow a meticulous protocol to provide you with the best care :
- Oral examination : The dental hygienist conducts a diagnosis to assess the presence of tartar, plaque, and potential gum issues.
- Ultrasonic cleaning : An ultrasonic device is used to remove tartar from the teeth and under the gumline.
- Manual cleaning : The hygienist uses specific instruments to perfect the cleaning.
- Rinsing : A water jet removes debris.
- Dental polishing : A final step that smooths the enamel and enhances the natural whiteness of your teeth.
We adjust our techniques according to the specific needs of each patient, thus ensuring results perfectly suited to their situation.
