Professional Dental Cleanings
Many people believe that because they brush and floss once or twice a day, professional dental cleanings are not needed. Sadly, this is not the case. Once plaque has hardened to tartar/calculus, the only way to remove it is to scrap it off with dental instruments. No amount of brushing or flossing will remove tartar/calculus and it will begin to accumulate. What you may believe is tooth structure may actually be a layer of tartar/calculus.
Gentle but effective dental care is the top priority of our hygiene department. Amanda makes this possible by using advanced dental technologies for the objective measurement of gum tissue health. She can show you areas of your teeth and gums under magnification on a multimedia monitor using a dental intraoral camera that uses fiberoptics. When heavy tartar/calculus is present, Amanda uses an ultrasonic scaling instrument which decreases appointment time and helps to decrease your sensitivity during the procedure. She will offer you a choice of tooth polishing techniques. The traditional technique utilizes a rotating rubber cup and a pumice containing paste. The second technique uses a polishing system that delivers a stream of bacteriostatic sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) under pressure.
Preventative dentistry is the cornerstone of care at Crystal Lake Dental Care and professional dental cleanings are a key element. Amanda will work with you to provide you and your family with nothing but the best in dental care.
