Why Dental Cleanings Matter
We’re putting your comfort first
Regular dental cleanings are key to keeping your smile bright and your mouth healthy. Even if you’re diligent with brushing and flossing, plaque and calculus can still sneak into those hard-to-reach spots, leading to toothaches, cavities, and gum disease. A professional cleaning during a general dentistry appointment gets rid of these buildups so your teeth and gums stay in great shape.
Believe it or not, dental cleanings are also important for your overall health. There’s a strong connection between oral health and conditions like heart disease and diabetes. So, by keeping your mouth in top condition, you’re also helping protect your health and well-being. Plus, these regular check-ups allow your dentist to spot any potential issues early and avoid the need for more extensive procedures or even preventable tooth extractions.

The Teeth Cleaning Process
At our Ivanhoe East Dental Clinic
1. Getting to Know You: Before the cleaning starts, your dentist or dental hygienist will ask you about your health and dental history, discuss any concerns you may have, and talk about factors that may impact the condition of your teeth and gums, like your oral care routine and any medications you may take.
2. Examination: The next step is an examination where we’ll check for common issues like gingivitis and cavities. We may also take X-rays and perform an oral cancer screening which involves examining your cheeks, lips, jaws, and neck for any suspicious bumps or lumps.
3. Removing Plaque and Calculus: Using a small mirror and scaler, we’ll carefully remove plaque and calculus buildup from around your gum line and in between your teeth. Dreading the sound and sensitivity involved with traditional dental cleanings? We also offer the option of using AIRFLOW Guided Biofilm Therapy, an innovative cleaning system that effectively and painlessly polishes teeth and removes stains using a gentle stream of warm water and compressed air.
4. Deep Cleaning & Flossing: After we’ve removed all plaque and calculus, we’ll brush your teeth with a high-powered toothbrush and gritty toothpaste, and thoroughly floss your teeth, getting deep in between them to remove any leftover debris.
5. Fluoride Treatment: The final step is a fluoride treatment, which helps to protect your teeth against cavities for several months. The fluoride may be applied as a gel, foam, or varnish.
