The importance of professional deep cleaning cannot be underestimated. A thorough deep cleaning, or dental prophylaxis, involves the dentist deep cleaning your teeth and gums to uphold optimal oral health. Dental cleaning helps stop the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease, the two most common oral health problems.
A regular dental treatment removes plaque and tartar, helping prevent cavities, gingivitis, and other potential health problems.
Dr. Joanna Tylman, the best dentist near Wheeling, Arlington Heights & Mount Prospect, IL, also performs professional tooth cleaning using a variety of instruments specially designed to clean the teeth and gums effectively. The process has three steps: tooth scaling, debridement, and polishing.
An ultrasonic cleaner loosens and removes plaque and tartar, followed by gentle scraping to remove any stubborn plaque on your teeth. A rotary toothbrush cleans and polishes the teeth using toothpaste designed for deep cleaning. The next step is flossing to remove missed debris and prevent bacteria from lingering between the teeth. The last step typically involves a fluoride treatment, which helps to strengthen the enamel.
