A dental hygiene cleaning is a professional cleaning performed by a dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. It is important because it helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues by maintaining clean and healthy teeth and gums.
During a dental hygiene cleaning, the hygienist will first examine your mouth to check for any signs of oral health issues. Then, they will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially around the gum line. This is followed by polishing your teeth to remove surface stains and a professional flossing to ensure all debris is cleared away.
It is generally recommended to have a dental hygiene cleaning every six months. However, depending on your oral health needs, your dentist might suggest more frequent cleanings, especially if you have a history of gum disease or other dental issues.
Dental hygiene cleanings are very safe. Some patients might experience temporary sensitivity or mild discomfort, especially if there is significant tartar buildup or gum inflammation. These effects typically subside shortly after the cleaning. If you have any specific concerns, discuss them with your dental hygienist.
After a dental hygiene cleaning, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash if recommended by your dentist. Avoid sugary foods and drinks, and follow a balanced diet. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are crucial to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
