A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing. Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
"My goodness! I can't say enough good about Warren & Law. From the moment I walked in, Miss Brooklyn greeted me with a smile even though she was on the phone. The Dental Assistant was sweet & took interest in me personally. Dr. Moberly had a real conversation with me then discussed my concerns. Then after Jennine (I am sorry if I misspelled your name) was so polite & helpful! I then received a call for my cleaning to get in the same day! The other important thing for me was CLEANLINESS! Overall a top notch dental office!"
