Teeth Cleaning

Professional oral cleanings are quick, painless and extremely necessary for the well-being of your long-term oral health. Before initiating the professional cleaning procedure, our oral hygienists will completely examine your mouth. During this short examination, we generally use a dental mirror to examine your teeth, gums, and whole mouth.

During this assessment, if our dental hygienist finds a severe problem, they will request you to consult our orthodontists so they can decide whether to continue this procedure or not. The process of our teeth cleanings in Windsor is tailored according to each patient’s individual situation but usually comprises the following steps:

After an in-depth examination, we will remove the tartar around, below and above your gum line with the help of a dental scaler and a small mirror. If you have a lot of tartar buildup, this process can take longer to complete. The scaler used in this process gently scrapes away areas of hard plaque or tartar from your teeth.

After completely eliminating plaque and calculus from your mouth, we will brush your teeth with a powerful electric toothbrush to clear the residuals left after scaling. During the professional teeth cleaning services, we use unique toothpaste that has a grainy consistency, which scrubs and polishes teeth.

However, they taste and smell like any other toothpaste. During polishing your teeth, our dental hygienist will make your tooth enamel glossy and smooth. This is a completely painless and simple step.

The last process of professional teeth cleaning is the fluoride treatment. Fluoride can combat cavities for months and fortifies your teeth against decay. Two types of fluoride treatment are used at our clinic, Kadri Dental: fluoride gel and fluoride varnish.

1. Fluoride gel: It is used to fill a mouthpiece that is fitted over your teeth and left for a few minutes. This gel consists of a variety of flavors that you can choose from. In order to acquire the maximum benefit of the fluoride gel treatment, you should prevent eating or drinking for up to 30 minutes after getting done with your appointment.
2. Fluoride varnish: It is painted onto your teeth with the help of a small brush and gets hardened when it comes in contact with saliva. Fluoride varnish is very effective in preventing new cavities and can also repair teeth if decay has just started.

A small mirror is used to check the exact area of the problem in the jaw. Once the issue is detected, the scaler is used by our dentist to remove the harmful tartar and bacteria. Our dentist Windsor Ontario will do a bit of scrapping to remove the bacteria inside your mouth. Our patients should know that regular brushing can help in reducing plaque building and turn it into hard tartar.

Once your teeth cleaning process is performed, our hygienist will use a high-powered electric brush that makes a grinding noise. The purpose is to deep clean your teeth and makes sure that no tartar is left behind. Several kinds of toothpaste are available for teeth cleaning but many of them smell like regular toothpaste.

Therefore, you can choose the flavors as per your requirements. Moreover, you should not use a gritty brush at home as it might damage your enamel and you will end up badly. Always call us if you need teeth cleaning, we will do it perfectly to make sure that you have clean teeth and a shiny smile.

Whether you do regular flossing at home or not but nothing beats flossing done by our medical experts at the Kadri dental clinic. Our dentist does more than just regular flossing. They dig deep into the teeth’ surface to find the hidden tartar and bacteria. If you are doing flossing at home, it’s good. Do visit your dentist every six months for detailed teeth cleaning and stay safe to enjoy a shiny smile.

Our treatment processes are always modern and painless. Moreover, you must know that teeth cleaning requires regular rinsing with water. We always suggest that our customers do rinsing with a fluoride liquid. After all, we are here to help our customers to get rid of dental issues presently.

How often you should visit your oral hygienist typically depends on your overall oral health. However, general guidelines say that patients should make an appointment for professional teeth cleanings at least 2 times a year with a gap of six months. While this is suitable for most people, some will need to come in every three to four months, whereas others with excellent oral hygiene habits may only need to visit their oral hygienist once a year.

General dental cleanings do not cause any pain. However, there can be complicating factors, such as tooth decay, inflammation in the gums, or other symptoms of oral disease that can result in sensitivity. Therefore, dentists use anesthetics during the entire process to minimize patients’ discomfort.

If your dental cleaning procedure includes air polishing or fluoride treatment, you must wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything. However, if it doesn’t contain any of these additional procedures, then there’s no need to wait. But we still advise our patients to avoid certain foods that can discolor or stain their teeth for at least 6 hours after getting the dental cleaning services.

The best way to prepare for a dental cleaning procedure is to properly pre-clean your teeth, refrain from alcohol, avoid whitening teeth for a few weeks before the cleaning, and prepare a list of questions that you want to ask your dentist. Also, make at least 2 hours for your dentist’s appointment.
