Professional Cleanings |
Professional cleanings performed by a licensed dentist or hygienist are just as important to your dental health as daily brushing and flossing. Using specialized tools and training, your hygienist at Aspire Dental will:
• |
Remove plaque build-up from the surfaces of teeth. Bacteria in the mouth form plaque, which collects on teeth and causes decay, gum disease, and gingivitis. |
• |
Remove tartar from teeth surfaces. Tartar, or calculus, is plaque that has become so hardened on the teeth that its removal requires special procedures. Tartar below the gum line is also an indication of gum disease. |
• |
Remove surface stains from teeth through polishing. |
Some patients will require a deep cleaning due to gum disease and past periodontal treatments. Dr. Lisa Kakishita will review your past dental history and identify any issues you may need treatment for.
