Cleanings
At Mask Dental Studio, we believe that regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Our professional cleaning services are designed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. With a focus on patient comfort and care, our dental cleanings are a crucial part of your preventive dental care routine.
What Are Dental Cleanings?
Dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, are routine appointments where our skilled dental hygienists perform thorough cleanings of your teeth and gums. During these visits, we remove plaque (a soft, sticky film of bacteria) and tartar (hardened plaque) that can accumulate on your teeth, even with regular brushing and flossing. Cleanings typically include the following components:
● Scaling: The hygienist uses specialized tools to carefully scrape away plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth, both above and below the gumline. This helps reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
● Polishing: After scaling, we polish your teeth to remove surface stains and give them a smooth, shiny finish. This step also helps to reduce plaque buildup in the future.
● Fluoride Treatment: Depending on your individual needs, we may apply a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your tooth enamel and provide additional protection against cavities.
Benefits of Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings offer a wide range of benefits, including:
● Prevention of Gum Disease: By removing plaque and tartar buildup, cleanings help prevent gingivitis and more severe periodontal diseases.
● Cavity Prevention: Regular cleanings reduce the risk of cavities by keeping your teeth free from decay-causing bacteria.
● Fresh Breath: Professional cleanings remove food particles and bacteria that contribute to bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
● Early Detection of Dental Issues: During your cleaning, our hygienists will assess your oral health and identify any potential problems early, allowing for timely intervention.
● Improved Overall Health: Maintaining good oral health has been linked to better overall health, as periodontal disease has been associated with various systemic conditions.
