Dental professionals use special instruments to clear stubborn plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums. Your toothbrush cannot reach it all and is not powerful enough to eradicate everything. Only through regular teeth cleans can we lower your risks for oral health complications.
What Happens During a Professional Teeth Clean in Katoomba?
We ensure you’re relaxed and comfortable in the dental chair during a professional teeth clean. Then a team member uses special dental tools to clear debris from the teeth and gums. This is the same debris that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
Remember, a teeth clean is not a painful undertaking. In fact, it can be pretty relaxing.
And as we clean your teeth, we also check your gum health and monitor oral health changes. If we find an issue, we report it to the dentist immediately. This may include gum recession or a potential cavity.
After your dental clean, we polish the teeth, and you can enjoy the rest of your day.
Taking Care of Your Teeth Between Dental Visits
- We recommend brushing your teeth twice daily at minimum, but for best results, you should do so after every meal. Additionally, you should floss at least once.
- It’s essential to visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and dental cleans—typically every six months or yearly, depending on your oral health.
- Nutrition also plays a role in your dental health. Be sure to eat a balanced diet, low in sugar and acidity. Avoid fruit juice, soda, and other foods and drinks that can lead to tooth decay.
- Always report oral changes to your Katoomba dentist as soon as possible, including tooth sensitivity and oral sores that don’t heal.
