Teeth cleaning supplements regular brushing by helping further prevent tooth decay, gum disease, etc. They can also help improve cardiovascular health as well as reduce inflammation in the body.
The American Dental Association (ADA) advises that people visit the dentist for a cleaning and check up every six months. However, every individual may vary and the best thing for you to do is consult your dentist.
No special preparation is needed prior to a dental cleaning. Simply brush and floss your teeth per normal before coming in for your cleaning.
Teeth cleaning is typically a painless procedure, as no injection or cutting is involved. At worst there is some pressure when plaque and tartar are being removed from your teeth, but this is usually not uncomfortable.
If your teeth cleaning includes fluoride treatment or air polishing, you must wait at least 30 minutes to eat. If not, there is no need to wait although, it’s recommended to avoid foods that could stain or discolor your teeth for at least 6 hours.
Teeth cleanings typically last between 30 minutes up to an hour.
