Following\u00a0<\/span>teeth cleaning procedure\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/a>at home is such a no-brainer. You just need to practice your routine in brushing your teeth and flossing in between them. For some, it\u2019s important to include a finishing mouthwash. Oral care regimens are also popular such as oil pulling and tongue scraping. However, no matter how hard you try, bacteria will always get on top of your dental care game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why you still have to consider a professional\u00a0<\/span>dental cleaning procedure.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/a>It\u2019s not necessary to see your dentist frequently for a checkup and cleaning. Generally, a regular dental appointment is twice a year or every 6 months. Dentists would understand your apprehensions due to the common belief that dental procedures can be uncomfortable. Regardless of such stigma, oral prophylaxis or in-office\u00a0<\/span>teeth cleaning procedure\u00a0<\/span><\/b>are actually enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teeth cleaning procedure<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before starting with the actual cleaning process, your dentist will first conduct a physical exam on your mouth. Using a dental mirror, he checks your teeth surfaces and your gums. After the checkup, the\u00a0<\/span>dental cleaning procedure\u00a0<\/span><\/b>follows.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using the scaler, he removes the plaque and tartar off your teeth. Usually, these biofilms form and solidify in between your teeth spaces and along your gum lines. It\u2019s normal to hear and feel scraping at this point especially if you have more tartar on your teeth.\u00a0<\/span>Although tartar is a hardened plaque, your dentist thoroughly removes it with\u00a0<\/span>teeth cleaning procedure.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>So, if this step unease you, the trick here is to make sure that you brush and floss your teeth every day<\/li>\n
  2. When you\u2019re past that part, it\u2019s time for a toothbrush. During oral prophylaxis, your dentist uses an electric brush and mildly abrasive toothpaste to clean your teeth. This technique in\u00a0<\/span>dental cleaning procedure<\/b>\u00a0is effective in reducing stains and stubborn bacteria from your bites. The grinding noise of the high-powered electric toothbrush may be scary, however, it is completely safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. At this stage, you will have a professional flossing session. Your dentist will be able to locate and reach problematic areas in your teeth that you may have missed before. It\u2019s also a polishing phase after brushing your teeth. After that, he rinses away all the debris with water spray.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Finally, he applies\u00a0<\/span>fluoride<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0treatment on your teeth to strengthen the enamel. This final step gives your teeth strong protection from risks of cavities for a few months.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
