What to Expect During a Cleaning
Your visit begins with a thorough exam by our dental hygienist, who will evaluate the health of your teeth and gums. Based on this assessment, we’ll recommend the appropriate type of cleaning to help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
Types of Dental Cleanings
Regular Cleaning (Prophylaxis)
For patients with healthy gums, a standard cleaning involves removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains from the teeth. This cleaning keeps your smile fresh, polished, and protected from developing gum disease. Our dental team may recommend more frequent cleanings for patients showing early signs of gum issues.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)
We recommend deep cleanings if you have symptoms such as bleeding or sensitive gums, tartar below the gumline, or deep periodontal pockets. Deep cleaning at Tempe Dental Care targets bacteria and buildup beneath the gums to promote healing and halt the progression of gum disease.
Periodontal Maintenance
Following a deep cleaning, periodontal maintenance is crucial to managing long-term gum health. This ongoing care removes plaque and tartar above and below the gum line, deep cleans each tooth, and finishes with polishing. The dental team may recommend periodontal maintenance to help prevent the return of gum disease and support overall oral health.
