A dental cleaning is a professional tooth cleaning you receive from a dental hygienist.
Cleanings should be performed at least every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Depending on your periodontal condition and susceptibility, your doctor may recommend a more frequent cleaning schedule. Plaque consists of masses of bacteria that grow between and on teeth, at and below the gum line. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay.
Your visit begins with a careful evaluation of your oral health, concerns and treatment goals. The Center for Dental Medicine & Reconstruction team will explain whether dental cleaning is appropriate for your needs and review relevant treatment options.
Your candidacy depends on your oral health, diagnosis and individual goals. A comprehensive examination at our Lincoln office allows our specialists to determine whether dental cleaning should be part of your treatment plan.
