Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleaning is a procedure involving the removal of tartar that may develop even with careful routine brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to reach. It is often done by a dental hygienist and includes tooth scaling, polishing and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated. This involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth. The intention is prevention of cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
