What Is A Dental Cleaning?

During your cleaning, you can get tips on ways to better clean your teeth at home and discover certain areas that may need extra care. A professional cleaning will give Dr. Sean Melton the opportunity to look for any areas of concern in the mouth that may need care. Getting a professional dental cleaning is an important part of maintaining your oral health so make appointments for your family at our Helena, MT office.
What Can I Expect from A Dental Cleaning?
Your cleaning starts by addressing the plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, which is difficult to treat on your own with daily brushing and flossing. Advanced tools are used to scale buildup without harming the tooth. First, an ultrasonic device breaks up large chunks of tartar and plaque with high-speed vibrations and a lubricating mist. Next, handheld instruments (such as a curette or scaler) will be used to remove smaller pieces. Each tooth will be treated individually to get all the buildup. After the teeth have been cleaned, the enamel will be polished to remove stains and strengthen the teeth. A professional fluoride treatment can be done after the cleaning if needed or requested.

Dental Cleaning Reviews
Great experience, Kara (not sure if I spelt that right) did my cleaning today and I was very happy with her work.
Very thorough exam and cleaning, plus a friendly staff!
Cleaning was simple. I was able to set up appointment for next cleaning and a cap to fix a tooth.
