A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 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. Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
"I usually have anxiety about dental visits, but this office completely changed that for me. This was hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had. The front desk staff was kind and efficient, the hygienist was gentle and thorough, and the dentist was knowledgeable and reassuring. They truly care about their patients and take the time to explain treatment options without pressure. I left feeling confident and well taken care of. Five stars all around! Will recommend Dr. Wassim to everyone I know!!!"
