Our Teeth Cleaning Services
During your visit with Advanced Dental Care of Allen, our trained staff will provide a deep cleaning to reach the areas of your mouth that normal brushing and flossing cannot. Our specialized training and dental tools ensure your smile is getting the care it deserves.
Our teeth cleaning services include:
-
Plaque Cleaning – We've all seen the hard, yellow buildup that accrues around the base of teeth. This is commonly known as "plaque," and it is very important to remove if present. If left untreated, plaque can lead to a bacterial infection and more severe oral diseases.
-
Tartar (Calculus) Removal – Also known as "mineralized plaque," tartar is plaque that has hardened over time on the base of your teeth near the gums. Tartar often requires specialized dental tools to effectively be removed.
-
Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleanings) – While healthy gum tissue seals out plaque, patients with gum disease may require root planing and scaling to remove plaque that has developed below the gum line. Tooth scaling involves a specialized tool that can clean below the gums, removing any plaque buildup.
-
Tooth Polishing – We will also remove stains and marks on your teeth, leaving a polished, clean look!
Keeping your teeth healthy and clean is our top priority. To do so, we strongly encourage all of our patients to routinely schedule a teeth cleaning at least once every six months.
