Professional teeth cleaning is an essential part of overall oral health. At Dentistry on the Pines we go beyond what brushing and flossing can do. Our experienced team in Vaughan follows a systematic approach to ensure every cleaning is beneficial for our patients.
The cleaning begins with a thorough oral exam. This initial step allows our dental professionals to assess your current oral health and identify areas that need attention. Through our skills in General Dentistry we ensure each cleaning addresses your specific dental needs.
Plaque and tartar removal is the first active step in professional cleaning. Our hygienists use special instruments to remove the buildup from all tooth surfaces. This process known as scaling reaches areas that brushing and flossing miss.
Ultrasonic cleaning technology helps us remove stubborn deposits more effectively. These instruments use gentle vibrations and water spray to break down tartar while keeping you comfortable. The combination of ultrasonic cleaning and hand scaling produces the best results.
Cleaning below the gum line is crucial in preventing periodontal disease. Our team pays special attention to these areas and removes any buildup that can cause gum inflammation or infection. This thorough approach keeps gum tissue healthy and strong tooth support.
For patients with existing dental work like Dental Implants we use specific cleaning techniques and instruments. These specialized approaches maintain the restoration and protect the surrounding natural teeth and tissue. Our team is up to date with the latest cleaning protocols for various dental treatments.
Polishing follows the cleaning process. We use special paste and rotating tools to smooth tooth surfaces to remove surface stains and give you a bright clean finish. This step prevents plaque from reattaching to tooth surfaces.
The cleaning experience at our Vaughan location includes educational components. We show you how to brush and floss properly tailored to your needs. This will help you improve your home care routine between cleanings.
Fluoride treatment is applied at the end of the cleaning when applicable. This protective application helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. We will explain the benefits of fluoride treatment and recommend it based on your individual oral health needs. We communicate with our patients throughout the cleaning process. We explain each step and keep you comfortable during the procedure. This helps reduce anxiety and build trust in the cleaning.
We use advanced diagnostic tools when necessary. Intraoral cameras and digital X-rays help us identify areas that need attention. These technologies ensure we give you comprehensive care at every cleaning.
Time is important during professional cleanings. Most routine cleanings take 45-60 minutes. We schedule appointments to allow for a thorough cleaning while respecting your time commitments.
Gum health is assessed at every cleaning visit. Our team checks for gingivitis or periodontal disease and adjusts the cleaning accordingly. Early detection through regular cleanings prevents more serious gum issues.
Personalized oral care recommendations are given after each cleaning. Based on what we see during the cleaning we recommend products or techniques that will benefit your oral health routine. These recommendations help to maintain the cleaning results.
Documentation of your cleaning progress helps us track changes in your oral health over time. We record areas of concern and monitor progress between visits. This tracking allows us to adjust the cleaning approach for long term results.
Professional cleanings prevent many dental problems. Regular cleanings avoid costly repairs and maintain natural tooth structure. We emphasize the preventive benefits of regular professional cleanings.
Some patients require special cleaning protocols based on their oral health status. We adapt our cleaning techniques for sensitive teeth, existing dental work or health conditions. This customized approach ensures comfortable and effective cleanings for all patients.
At Dentistry on the Pines we view professional cleanings as an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with you. These regular visits allow us to monitor oral health changes and address concerns promptly. Our commitment to thorough and gentle cleanings helps you have healthy smiles for life.
Remember professional cleanings complement your daily oral care routine. We recommend you continue to brush and floss between cleanings and follow our recommended schedule for optimal oral health maintenance.
