Visual examination of your oral health
Before your cleaning begins, your dental specialist examines your teeth, bite, gums, jaw, and mouth. The team also reviews your medical history.
Removal of plaque and tartar
After your oral exam, your dentist removes plaque and tartar from your teeth with a special dental tool.
Teeth polishing
Cleaning your teeth thoroughly involves getting your teeth polished with a gritty toothpaste applied to an electric toothbrush that removes any remaining plaque.
Flossing
Your dental professional flosses your teeth and has your rinse to get rid of any final debris.
Fluoride treatment
The final step includes applying fluoride to your teeth to protect them from developing tooth decay. Although you might feel some prodding, scraping, and occasional jaw discomfort from leaving your mouth open during the process, it’s simple, painless, and only takes 30 minutes to an hour.
