Teeth Cleaning

So you want to keep your teeth nice and healthy at home? In truth, even if you do a great job keeping up with your smile in the privacy of your own home, it is still a good idea to see your dentist for regular checkups. Of course, if you keep your smile in the best shape possible, you are going to have pretty simple checkups and that will make everyone happy. So what are some ways you can help to keep your smile, bright, white, and healthy all from the comfort of your own home?

One of the first things you can do is find great toothpaste. Your dentist might have a recommendation for you, but you can also check consumer advocacy websites and magazines as well to find out which toothpaste did the best job at removing plaque and tarter buildup. If you are looking to whiten your teeth you can also read up on reviews for teeth whitening systems, but for the time being you can use these sites to find the right toothpaste for you.

Getting good dental floss is the second step towards good oral hygiene. If you have teeth that are pretty regular then you might be fine with the generic dental floss, if however you have teeth that are spaced somewhat close together you might want to look for a brand of dental floss that is meant to glide between your teeth. You can also look for dental tools which can be found in most any grocery store as well as flossing tools that will help you reach those hard to get to places in the back of your mouth.

Dental teeth cleaning has made huge strides in the past few years and the procedure can be completed in just one sitting. Dentists prefer the use of ultrasonic cleaning equipment, which speeds up the process and does a better job than most hand instruments. This equipment cleans not just your teeth, but also the areas beneath the gum line, and between teeth.

It produces very gentle ultrasonic vibrations at high speed. Normally, you will not need even a local anaesthetic as it is a painless procedure. If there is some level of gum damage then your dentist may give you a shot to numb the area.You can buy dental lab equipment from www.zetadental.com.

Once the initial cleaning is done, a rotary machine is used with the application of a little toothpaste. This attempts to remove the plaque that may still remain under the gums. It also polishes the outer tooth thoroughly to retard future buildup of plaque. Then your dentist would floss between the teeth to remove any hard to reach plaque.

So dental teeth cleaning is effectively a combination of ultrasonic cleaning, rotary brushing, and flossing. You will be able to see immediate results on completion of the cleaning. There are no side-effects to getting your teeth cleaned. The only thing that could happen is loosening of your crowns or fillings, which is rare and the only reason that can happen is if your fillings are already weak.

Let your dentist be the best judge of when you will need professional cleaning. Getting your teeth cleaned professionally once in a while can only be good for your teeth.
