Going to the dentist can be stressful, but it can also be liberating and joyful when you leave the dental office confident in your smile. One of the best ways to make yourself comfortable is to know exactly what is going to happen during your visit. Understanding what you can expect at a routine teeth cleaning can help you relax. 

Physical Exam

Before anything happens, your hygienist will do a physical exam of your mouth. They will use a mirror to check for any signs of gum disease or other issues. If everything looks good, they will continue with the cleaning. 

Plaque and Tartar Removal

Using a scaler tool, the hygienist will remove any plaque or tartar that has built up on your teeth. There should not be any discomfort during this process. The only thing you will notice is a slight scraping sound as the buildup is carefully and gently removed by the hygienist. This process usually wraps up with the hygienist polishing your teeth.

Fluoride Treatment

Once the teeth cleaning is done, the hygienist will then give you a fluoride treatment. This will be done by placing a mouthpiece in your mouth with a flavored fluoride for a little over a minute. They will most likely ask you what flavor you would like so the process can be as enjoyable as possible.
