Routine teeth cleanings are one of the simplest ways to protect your smile, and our Johns Creek, GA team makes them thorough, comfortable, and easy to schedule
The dental hygienist uses a small mirror to check around your teeth and gums for any signs of gingivitis (inflamed gums) or other potential concerns. With the small mirror to guide them, the dental hygienist uses a scaler to get rid of plaque and tartar around your gum line, as well as in between your teeth. You’ll hear scraping, but this is normal. The more tartar there is in your mouth, the more time they’ll need to scrape a particular spot.
After your teeth are completely tartar-free, the hygienist brushes them with a high-powered electric brush. The last step of the cleaning process is a fluoride treatment. This treatment is used as a protectant for your teeth to help fight against cavities for several months.
A professional cleaning is one part of preventive dentistry, but what you do at home between visits has a lot to do with how healthy your teeth and gums stay. At Johns Creek Dental Associates, we want you to leave each cleaning knowing how to care for your smile, and our team is happy to answer questions about your brushing and flossing habits during your visit.
Most patients do well brushing twice a day for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth once a day with floss or another interdental tool, and replacing a toothbrush every three to four months. If your gums bleed or your teeth feel sensitive, mention it at your next cleaning so we can check for early signs of gum disease.
