Obtain a professional, preventive dental cleaning with Georgetown, TX area dentist

The best way to reduce the risk of dental problems such as gum disease, cavities, and pain is by preventative dental care. While an effective at-home oral hygiene routine is one of the most important steps, so is visiting the dentist for a professional cleaning. Georgetown, TX area patients who are seeking preventive solutions can call 4405 Dental Studio to learn more about their options for thorough cleanings and evaluations.

What are preventive dental cleanings?

Along with a comprehensive oral examination during a routine 6-month visit, or “recall appointment,” patients will have a thorough cleaning performed by our professionals. This cleaning sometimes referred to as prophylaxis, is a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums performed by the dental hygienists at 4405 Dental Studio. This deep cleaning allows the dental hygienist to spot concerns that might need to be brought to the dentist’s attention, such as noticeable signs of cavities or periodontal disease.

What happens during a preventive dental cleaning?

  • First, the dental hygienist will use an ultrasonic tooth scaler that removes calculus, plaque, and debris from around the gum line and between the teeth. This might also be performed using a hand scaler if needed.
  • Second, the teeth will be polished using a special paste. Each tooth is polished one at a time.
  • Third, dental floss is used to floss between the teeth. This is also a great time to ask your dental hygienist any questions about brushing or flossing that may help you maintain a healthy smile.
