Teeth Polishing

Even if you are brushing and flossing your teeth correctly at home, it is still important for you to have a professional teeth polishing at Cedar House Family Dentistry twice each year. Using advanced tools, this dental cleaning treatment removes plaque and tartar and then polishes your teeth for a healthier, brighter smile. After your treatment, you can get tips on ways to better clean your teeth at home and learn if there are certain areas that need extra attention. Teeth polishing will give Dr. Jhangiani the opportunity to identify any issues in the mouth that might need care. Having a dental cleaning is a vital step in maintaining your oral health, call our office to schedule an appointment for yourself and your family.

Your teeth polishing at Cedar House Family Dentistry will start by removing the plaque and tartar deposits on your teeth, which are difficult to treat at home, no matter how often you brush and floss. Advanced instruments are used to scale buildup without affecting the enamel. To begin, a device with ultrasonic technology breaks up large areas of tartar and plaque with high-speed vibrations and a lubricating mist. Then, handheld tools, like a curette or scaler, will remove the remaining pieces. Each tooth needs to be treated individually to get all the tartar and plaque. Once your teeth have been cleaned, your enamel will be carefully polished to strengthen it and remove stains. If needed or requested, a fluoride treatment may be performed following your cleaning. We will help you develop a home routine for good oral health by recommending dental products and demonstrating techniques that can address your specific concerns and needs.
