A typical dental cleaning in Winter Springs, FL, takes an hour or less. However, your time in the dental chair will vary depending on the complexity of your cleaning. For example, if you’ve skipped a few cleanings, your appointment may take longer because there is more tartar to address.
Why You Should Never Skip Teeth Cleanings
Teeth cleanings can significantly lower your risks for preventable conditions like:
- Gingivitis
- Gum disease
- Tooth decay
- Tooth infections
It is part of a three-point plan that includes regular checkups and excellent at-home brushing and flossing.
You should visit our dental office every six months for dental checkups and teeth cleanings.
What Happens during a Teeth Cleaning?
Teeth cleanings are noninvasive and even relaxing. Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar buildup from hard-to-reach areas, including between the teeth. We also evaluate your gum health during this cleaning. Any findings are reported to the dentist.
We complete your appointment with a tooth polish for that smooth, fresh finish.
Also, if you have oral hygiene questions, your hygienist is happy to provide tips and advice for at-home care.
