The Teeth Cleaning Process

During a professional teeth cleaning at Pleasantville Smiles, our dental hygienist will perform the following steps:

  • Initial Examination
    Dentist or hygienist examines your teeth and gums to assess overall oral health.

Maintaining Oral Hygiene Between Visits

Keeping your teeth clean between professional cleanings is essential for maintaining oral health. Brush your teeth at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste, and don’t forget to floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth. Using an antibacterial mouthwash can further reduce bacteria and freshen your breath. A balanced diet and avoiding sugary snacks and drinks can also help maintain your dental health. Regular check-ups allow your dentist to monitor your oral health and address any issues promptly.

Post-Cleaning Care

After your teeth cleaning, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices. Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and use an antibacterial mouthwash. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings every six months will help ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy.
