Dental cleanings: Dentists or dental hygienists remove any hard deposits of calculus (tartar) with unltrasonic scalers and hand instruments as well as polish your teeth with brushes or wheels and polishing paste. In addition, at our office we discuss and demonstrate proper oral hygiene techniques, and dispense a sample of tooth brush, dental floss and toothpaste.

Remove deposits: Teeth cleaning is just scrubbing the teeth and scraping the deposits. Depending on your hygiene and your conditions you may need additional treatment that may involve cleaning under the gums, the dentist will be best to decide what you really need. I think you are doing great trying to get your mouth in shape. Stay well my friend, dr mokbel, www.Scdentalimplants.Com.
