What Can I Expect for My Dental Cleaning?
To start your cleaning, your hygienist will first use an advanced scaling tool to gently remove built-up tartar and plaque, which can develop even with consistent brushing and flossing. At our Grand Ledge, MI office, we use sophisticated ultrasonic devices to loosen large chunks of plaque and tartar without harming the teeth. Next, handheld tools like a scaler or curette will be used to remove the remaining pieces. Each tooth needs to be treated individually to get all the plaque and tartar. Once your teeth have been cleaned, the enamel will be carefully polished to remove stains. If needed or requested, a professional fluoride treatment may be done after the cleaning.
