Dental Cleanings
Keep your smile bright and healthy with professional dental cleanings from Dr. Jeanette Linskey-Sanders at Experience Dentistry in Scranton, PA. Regular cleanings are a key component of preventive dentistry, helping to remove plaque, tartar, and stains while preventing oral health issues like cavities and gum disease. Our personalized care ensures you leave each appointment with a cleaner, healthier smile.
What Are Professional Dental Cleanings?
Dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, are thorough, professional procedures performed by a dentist or dental hygienist to remove plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing fail to eliminate. They play a vital role in maintaining good oral hygiene and reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental complications.
Professional cleanings are recommended every six months for most patients. However, the needs may vary based on your oral health and Dr. Linskey-Sanders’ personalized recommendations.
The Dental Cleaning Process
At Experience Dentistry, we ensure each dental cleaning session is efficient, comfortable, and tailored to your needs. Here’s what the process typically involves:
- Oral Examination: Before cleaning begins, Dr. Jeanette Linskey-Sanders or a hygienist will conduct an oral exam to assess your overall oral health. This helps identify any potential issues, such as cavities or gum inflammation, that may require attention.
- Removing Plaque and Tartar: Using special tools, we’ll gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and along the gumline. This step is essential because tartar cannot be removed by regular brushing and flossing.
- Cleaning and Polishing: After removing tartar, your teeth will be polished with a gritty paste to lift surface stains and leave your smile sparkling clean.
- Flossing: The session concludes with a thorough flossing to remove any remaining debris between teeth, ensuring a comprehensive clean.
- Fluoride Treatment (if needed): For added protection, we may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and prevent future decay.
Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings offer numerous benefits that contribute to both your oral and overall health:
- Prevent Cavities: Regular cleanings remove plaque, the leading cause of tooth decay.
- Healthy Gums: Prevent gum disease by keeping your gumline clear of harmful bacteria.
- Fresh Breath: Eliminate odors caused by plaque and bacteria build-up.
- Brighter Smile: Remove stains and polish teeth for a cleaner, whiter appearance.
- Improved Overall Health: Maintain better overall health by reducing risks linked to periodontal disease, such as heart disease and diabetes.
Dental cleanings are not just about aesthetics—they’re an essential preventive step in maintaining optimal oral health.
