What Does Dental Cleaning Entail?

 In Dental tips

Are you due for a dental cleaning in Chiswick? At Strand on the Green Dental, we believe that prevention is the foundation of great oral health. Regular dental cleanings are an essential part of maintaining a healthy smile, and they do far more than just polish your teeth.

Let’s explore what professional dental cleaning actually involves—and why it’s so important.

What Is a Dental Cleaning?

Dental cleaning, also known as scale and polish, is a routine hygiene appointment designed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. Even with excellent at-home brushing and flossing, some areas are simply too difficult to reach.

At Strand on the Green Dental in Chiswick, our experienced dental hygienists use the latest tools and techniques to ensure your mouth is clean, fresh, and protected against gum disease.

The Steps Involved in a Professional Cleaning

Here’s what you can expect during your dental hygiene appointment in Chiswick:

1. Oral Health Assessment

Your visit begins with a quick examination of your gums and teeth. This helps us identify any signs of inflammation, bleeding, or gum recession.

2. Scaling

Using an ultrasonic scaler and hand tools, we gently remove built-up plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and beneath the gumline.

3. Polishing

We then polish your teeth using a special paste that helps remove stains and leaves your enamel feeling smooth and looking brighter.

4. Fluoride Treatment (Optional)

For extra protection, especially if you’re prone to decay, we may recommend a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel.

5. Oral Hygiene Advice

Our hygienists offer personalised tips on brushing, flossing, and diet, helping you maintain your oral health between visits.

Why Is Dental Cleaning Important?

Skipping your dental cleanings can lead to:

  • Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
  • Bad breath (halitosis)
  • Tooth decay
  • Stained teeth
  • Increased risk of tooth loss

By attending regular appointments at your local Chiswick dental practice, you’re protecting your teeth, gums, and overall health.
