Dental cleaning is one of the best dental office services that helps you avoid oral health diseases and helps to treat any dental issues. Over time, dental calculus—which you know by the name of “tartar”—builds up without good oral hygiene practices. This will create very hard deposits on your teeth that may look gray, yellow, or brown. The tricky part is that you can’t remove it without powerful dental tools. Generally, a dentist will use a metal scaling tool, which is a dental instrument that will scrape deposits and plaque from your teeth. However, this is insufficient to remove the amount of deposits some people have.
Ultrasonic cleaning is a newer technology that uses electromagnetic forces in an ultrasonic scaler to clean the teeth. This ultrasonic cleaning scaler vibrates faster than the speed of sound, carrying enough force that it blasts away plaque and calculus buildup on the teeth. To avoid problems with the vibration, the wand also carries a stream of water (lavage) that sprays as it blasts.
In addition to ultrasonic cleaning, we offer an AirFlow polishing treatment. The AirFlow allows us to achieve many things that a basic polisher cannot, to benefit your oral health and brighten your smile. AirFlow treatment is a pleasant and comfortable oral cleansing therapy using a combination of air, sodium bicarbonate or glycine powder and a gentle jet stream of water to clean the surfaces of your teeth. It takes just one appointment to leave your teeth feeling smooth, clean, polished and ready to smile with confidence.
While it is the most advised cleaning procedure for those with sensitive teeth, the AirFlow treatment has outstanding results for braces cleaning and hygiene of other orthodontic appliances. The soft and gentle spray of the airflow is the ideal solution for cleaning orthodontic appliances. The powder spray is comfortable and perfectly safe to use on bracket surfaces, removing any build-up of plaque or surface staining to the bracket or tooth.
