Dental Cleanings

Brushing your teeth every day helps clean your teeth but can’t remove all the plaque. Between the teeth, the inside of the teeth and the area close to the gums are places where plaque is very easy to remain. If left for a long time, plaque can harden into tartar and at this time a regular brush cannot clean it completely. Dental Cleanings helps remove tartar and plaque in these areas. Besides, the doctor can also check the teeth and gums during the cleaning process to detect problems that need to be treated early.

Dental Cleanings for Hard-to-Reach Areas 

There are tartar patches located right on the surface of the teeth, so they are quite easy to recognize. But there are also parts that stick closely to the root of the tooth, even below the gum line and are usually only detected when examined closely.

At Vic’s Dental, ultrasonic technology is used to assist in the cleaning of tartar and plaque. The machine head vibrates slightly, helping to separate plaque from the tooth surface without the need for strong impact. For areas close to the gums, the doctor will operate more carefully to make the cleaning process as comfortable as possible.

Cleaner teeth also help to breathe more comfortably

Tartar and plaque accumulated over time can retain bacteria and food leftovers, which in turn contribute to bad breath. After cleaning, many people will feel that their teeth are clearer and more comfortable.

Of course, not all cases of bad breath are caused by tartar. If the smell of breath persists after dental cleaning, the doctor may examine further to find the cause instead of just treating the external tartar.

Check your teeth before cleaning

Before Dental Cleanings, the doctor will examine the teeth and gums. The level of tartar is not the same for everyone, so a pre-examination will help identify the areas that need to be cleaned thoroughly.

If the gums are red, bleeding easily, or have abnormal signs, the doctor will discuss with the customer before the procedure. In case of needing further treatment, they will also be clearly advised.

Dental care after cleaning

After removing tartar, it does not mean that tartar will not return. Plaque still forms every day, especially if brushing or cleaning between teeth is not done properly.

Therefore, after cleaning, it is still important to maintain home care. The frequency of inspection and Dental Cleanings is also not necessarily the same for everyone. If your teeth are prone to tartar or your gums are frequently problematic, your doctor may recommend an earlier check-up.

At Vic’s Dental, your doctor checks your teeth and gums before cleaning. Ultrasound technology is then used to assist in the removal of tartar and plaque, including those close to the gums. Dental Cleaning is done gently and in accordance with the condition of each customer’s teeth. After completion, the doctor instructs how to take care of your teeth at home and advises when to check again.
