Why Are Professional Teeth Cleanings Important?

Daily brushing and flossing are great for oral hygiene, they aren’t enough on their own.  Over time, sticky plaque can build up, breeding harmful bacteria on your teeth. If not removed, it can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional.

Our teeth cleaning in Austin, TX is designed to remove harmful plaque and tartar before they turn in to more serious issues.  We use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush and floss. This deep cleaning helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.

About Our Teeth Cleaning in Austin, TX

At Shoal Creek Smile Studio, we take a thorough, yet gentle approach to dental cleanings. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

1. Initial Examination: Before we begin the cleaning, one of our dental hygienists will perform a quick examination of your mouth. This helps us assess the overall health of your teeth and gums, looking for signs of inflammation, cavities, or other issues that may need attention.
2. Plaque and Tartar Removal: The next step is to remove any plaque and tartar buildup. Using a scaler, the hygienist will carefully clean around your gum line and between your teeth to eliminate the hard-to-reach deposits. This process might feel a little uncomfortable, but it shouldn’t cause pain, and it’s crucial for preventing gum disease and other oral health issues.
3. Deep Cleaning with Gritty Toothpaste: Once the tartar has been removed, your hygienist will use a high-powered electric toothbrush and a gritty toothpaste to give your teeth a deep clean. This part of the process helps remove any remaining plaque and polish the surface of your teeth, leaving them smooth and shiny.
4. Professional Flossing: Even if you floss regularly at home, professional flossing can reach areas you might miss. Your hygienist will expertly floss between your teeth, removing any leftover debris or plaque that may have been missed during brushing.
5. Rinsing: After the cleaning, you’ll be asked to rinse your mouth to clear away any remaining particles. We use a fluoride rinse or a mouthwash that can help strengthen your teeth and leave your mouth feeling refreshed.
6. Fluoride Treatment (Optional): For patients who are at higher risk of cavities, have gum recession, veneers or crowns, we may recommend a fluoride treatment. This quick and painless procedure involves applying a gel or foam to your teeth to help strengthen the enamel and prevent decay.
