Hygiene & Cleaning

For optimal oral health, we recommend routine teeth cleaning every three to six months to remove the buildup of plaque, tartar, and calculus. We finish your cleaning with polishing and stain removal to help your pearly whites sparkle.

The steps involved in a professional dental cleaning at SmileHub Dental include the following: 

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing are deep cleaning procedures that remove tartar, plaque, and calculus below the gumline. This procedure is often necessary for patients with periodontitis or advanced gum disease. 

Polishing and stain removal

After the scaling and root planing procedure is complete, we polish your teeth to remove any leftover debris and to help restore shine. We use ultrasonic dental tools and piezo instruments to quickly and effectively remove any calculus and stains from your teeth. 

Fluoride treatments

Fluoride is a mineral that helps to strengthen teeth and prevent cavities. We regularly recommend fluoride treatments for patients at high risk for tooth decay. 

Sealants for child tooth decay prevention

Dental sealants are a thin coating of plastic applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars.) Sealants act as a barrier, protecting teeth from bacteria and food particles that can cause tooth decay. 

Patient oral health hygiene education

Proper dental hygiene is essential for maintaining good oral health. We address this proactively by educating you on the best ways to brush and floss your teeth and the role a healthy diet plays in your dental outcomes. 

Close-up inspection with our intraoral camera

An intraoral camera is a small, hand-held digital camera that we use to get a close-up view of your mouth, teeth, and gums. An intraoral camera allows us to quickly detect any problems that may be present.
