50% of all our clinic time is devoted to dental cleaning. Patients are often surprised at our cleaning appointment..
Our appointment starts with a visual exam of your teeth. Doctor uses ultrasonic tip to remove the large tartar first, then use hand scaler to smooth the tooth surface. We spend about 50% of our cleaning time BELOW THE GUMLINE, invisible to clinician but detectable using probe. At the end of the cleaning, we usually do a cup polishing to remove stains.
Feel the difference…meticulous cleaning of your teeth prevent the following problems:
1. Bleeding gum/Swollen gum
2. Tooth decay
3. Periodontal disease and early tooth loss
4. Bad smell/Halitosis
