Get the Sparkle Back in Your Smile with Professional Teeth Cleaning

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of clean teeth when you leave the dentist’s office after a professional teeth cleaning. At Distinctive Dentistry, in Eugene, Oregon, Drs. Ty Jaros, Jacob Gubrud, Robert Gemmell, and their team of dental hygienists love sending their patients home with a sparkling, clean smile.

Why Professional Teeth Cleaning Is Essential

While daily brushing and flossing at home are essential for good oral health, these oral care activities don’t remove tartar from teeth. When plaque hardens on your teeth, it becomes tartar, which can only be removed when cleaned professionally at a dentist’s office. When plaque develops on teeth and gums, it can contribute to periodontal disease (gum disease).

Equally important, when your teeth are professionally cleaned, our dentist will check for cavities, examine your fillings to ensure none are loose, and screen for oral cancer.

What to Expect When You Have Your Teeth Professionally Cleaned

Are you wondering about the process involved with professional teeth cleaning? Here is what you can expect when you have your teeth cleaned by the team at Distinctive Dentistry: 

• Settling in for your cleaning: The team will take your blood pressure and get an overview of your medical history. Then, the team will help you get comfortable with warm towels infused with essential oils, comfortable treatment chairs, blankets, and soft music.
• Thorough examination: Your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and all supporting structures. Additionally, you will be screened for oral cancer.
• Plaque and tartar removal: Using a scaler, the hygienist will remove plaque tartar that has accumulated around your gum line and between your teeth.
• Cleaning with gritty toothpaste: Once the plaque and tartar are removed, the hygienist will brush your teeth with gritty toothpaste that will polish them. Your teeth will feel smooth and perfectly clean.
