Dental Cleanings In Wichita, KS
To maintain good oral health, it is crucial to get rid of plaque, which houses the bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease. Our office strongly recommends scheduling professional dental cleanings twice a year. This allows our hygienist to effectively eliminate any accumulated plaque, tartar, and food debris from your teeth and gums.
Routine dental cleanings offer the following advantages:
- Maintain a fresh and clean smile
- Prevent cavities and protect your periodontal health
- Aid in reversing gingivitis and restoring gum health
- Support overall health and well-being
What to expect during a teeth cleaning
Dental cleanings can be done using hand instruments or an ultrasonic scaler. Hand instruments scrape away harmful deposits from the teeth, while an ultrasonic scaler uses water and vibrations for cleaning. Our hygienist may use both methods for the best results.
During a routine dental cleaning, the focus is on the surface areas around the tooth's neck, above or slightly below the gumline. This procedure is usually painless and simple. However, for patients with sensitive teeth or other dental problems that may cause discomfort during the cleaning, we can use numbing gels or local anesthesia.
Get a fresh, pristine, gleaming smile
Our hygienist will give your teeth and gums a thorough cleaning, eliminating any surface stains. You will depart with a refreshed and pristine smile, and we will offer recommendations on the most effective brushing and flossing methods, along with valuable dietary tips for maintaining optimal oral health.
