Teeth Cleaning & Oral Hygiene

Teeth Cleaning

Teeth Cleaning is a dental procedure that involves cleaning the teeth and gums to prevent the development of dental problems. It is also known as a "professional cleaning" or Oral Prophylaxis."

During Teeth cleaning a dentist will remove plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth using specialized instruments. Plaque is a film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and gums, and tartar is hardened plaque that has calcified onto the teeth. In addition to removing plaque and tartar, the dental professional may also polish the teeth using a rotating brush and special toothpaste. This helps to remove any remaining plaque and stains and leaves the teeth looking shiny and clean.

Teeth Cleaning is typically recommended every six months to prevent the build-up of plaque and tartar, which can lead to dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. It is an important part of maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping the mouth healthy.

During the oral teeth cleaning, the dental professional may also check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental problems. If any problems are detected, they can be addressed during the cleaning or at a follow-up appointment.

 

Overall, teeth cleaning or oral prophylaxis is an important part of maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. If you haven’t had an oral prophylaxis in a while, it’s a good idea to schedule an appointment with your dental professional.

How to Brush Your Teeth Properly

As your dentist, we can’t be there every day to brush your teeth for you and ensure you are taking care of your oral health as you should be – that part is down to you. When you are brushing your teeth it is important to remember that there are five surfaces to every tooth;

 

– Outer surfaces

 

– Inner surfaces

 

– Chewing surfaces

 

– 2x interdental surfaces

 

Make sure that you are thorough and that you clean all of these surfaces every time you brush.

 

We recommend an electric or manual toothbrush combined with a fluoride toothpaste as well as interdental cleaning products such as – interdental brushes, floss, water flossers or floss sticks. When used consistently with the correct technique, these will help you to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent unwanted dental issues.
