Teeth Cleaning in Baltimore
At Baltimore City Dental Group, we believe that preventative care is at the heart of maintaining a healthy smile. That’s why we emphasize the importance of regular teeth cleanings. Our team of experienced dental hygienists and dentists provide thorough, gentle cleanings to help protect your teeth and gums from decay and disease.
Here’s what you can expect during a teeth cleaning session with us:
1. Examination: The session begins with a comprehensive oral examination. Our dental professionals will check your teeth and gums for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other dental issues.
2. Scaling: Using professional dental tools, our dental hygienist will carefully remove plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth. This process, known as scaling, helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
3. Polishing: After scaling, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and make your teeth smooth and shiny. We use a special paste and a high-powered electric brush for this step.
4. Flossing: Next, your dental hygienist will thoroughly floss your teeth to remove any remaining plaque or debris. This also helps to clean out the spaces between your teeth that your toothbrush can’t reach.
5. Fluoride Treatment: Finally, you might receive a fluoride treatment to strengthen your teeth and protect them against decay.
In addition to teeth cleanings, we offer education and guidance to help you maintain good oral hygiene at home. This includes tips on proper brushing and flossing techniques and advice on diet and lifestyle choices that can impact your oral health.
Remember, regular teeth cleanings are crucial for preventing dental issues and keeping your smile bright and healthy.
