Dental Cleaning
Wear The Smile That Perfectly Suits You
Dental cleaning is a part of oral hygiene. The purpose of dental cleaning is to leave the surface of the teeth clean and smooth so that bacteria or any unwanted material is unable to stick to them and you can easily follow your regular teeth cleaning care at home. Dental cleaning helps to get lovely, smooth and clean teeth. It is a specific procedure followed by your dental hygienist that involves the removal of dental plaque (soft, sticky bacteria infested film) and tartar deposits built up in the teeth, preventing cavities, gingivitis and periodontal diseases. Dental cleaning is also referred to as ‘prophylaxis’ which means ‘to prevent beforehand’- so here it means to prevent gum diseases. Dental cleaning is not just essential for teeth cleaning but also to support sound health and mind.
Why dental cleaning is necessary?
- To prevent tooth loss.
- Prevent tooth decay caused by the whitish film called plague. Plague can be removed by brushing, flossing and dental cleaning.
- Drinking coffee, tea, wine, alcohol or smoking stains the teeth. A dental cleaning removes built-up stains leaving freshly polished teeth.
- To get rid of persistent bad breath. Cleaning helps to get an odour-free mouth
- To prevent diseases from spreading from our mouth to the rest of our body like heart disease, dementia and diabetes.
- Save money. By taking advantage of our German Dental Center hygienists you can save money in the long run.
Why do teeth need to be cleaned by a hygienist?
There are many hard-to-reach areas in our mouths. For example, the places in the mouth where toothbrushes can’t deeply penetrate. A hygienist at a German Dental Center does professional teeth cleaning by using specialized tools like a scaler to remove tartar (above and below the gums). At German Dental Center, we have certified dental hygienists who methodically remove hard deposits on your teeth, leaving them fresh and bright.
Why do i need a dental checkup?
We recommend seeing a dental cleaner after every six months but patients subjected to severe periodontal disease must pay frequent visits to hygienists.
