1. Examination and Assessment
The dentist examines your mouth for decay, gum issues, or other oral concerns. X-rays may be reviewed to assess overall dental health.
2. Scaling (Plaque and Tartar Removal)
Ultrasonic and manual instruments are used to remove plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline for a deep clean.
3. Polishing
A special polishing paste smooths the tooth surface and removes stains, leaving teeth shiny and resistant to new plaque buildup.
4. Flossing
All spaces between teeth are thoroughly flossed to remove leftover debris or plaque, ensuring a complete and clean finish.
5. Rinsing and Fluoride Treatment
You’ll rinse to clear all debris, followed by an optional fluoride application to protect teeth and strengthen enamel.
6. Review and Home Care Advice
Your dentist will guide you with personalized brushing and flossing advice to help you maintain excellent oral hygiene at home.
