At We Care 4U Dental Center, teeth cleaning is part of your preventive dental care appointments. Your appointment usually starts with a comprehensive dental exam.
During the exam, Dr. Pagan carefully evaluates your teeth and screens for oral health problems. She also takes X-rays to evaluate the inside of your teeth, the tooth roots, and the other supporting structures.
For your teeth cleaning, an experienced registered dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from your teeth. Then, they polish your teeth to remove stains and create a smooth surface that plaque and tartar can't easily adhere to.
At We Care 4U Dental Center, dental hygienists use a state-of-the-art ultrasonic teeth cleaning system.
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is an alternative to old-fashioned dental instrument cleanings. With this high-tech method, your dental hygienist uses a vibrating handheld wand that moves faster than the speed of sound.
These ultrarapid vibrations pulverize plaque and tartar on your teeth as the built-in sprayer delivers a stream of water or antibacterial mouthwash to flush it away.
Your hygienist can also use the ultrasonic teeth cleaner just below your gums to eliminate pockets of plaque and tartar that would otherwise lead to gum disease. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is the evolution of teeth cleanings, making the process simple and easy.
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning offers significant advantages, including:
Overall, ultrasonic teeth cleaning offers more impressive results and a proactive way to safeguard your oral health.
Dr. Pagan recommends a teeth cleaning and oral exam schedule that's ideal for you. Most children and adults need teeth cleaning and exams every six months. If you have gum disease or severe tooth decay, Dr. Pagan may recommend appointments every three months instead.
