A
dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from a dentist
or dental hygienist. Most dental cleanings take only between 25
and 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.
Polishing: this is the last step in tooth cleaning and involves
finishing the surface of the teeth to make them shiny and clean.
There are two
kinds of polishing: air polishing and rubber tip polishing. Air
polishing works by spraying high pressured water mixed with baking
soda paste onto the surface of your teeth. This powered water washes
away residue and plaque while baking soda removes stains. Rubber
cup polishing uses a low-speed and gentle handpiece that contains
a polishing paste made of abrasive ingredients ideal for removing
stains.
