Teeth Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings in NYC can remove built-up plaque and tartar on the teeth to ensure a healthy smile. While brushing your teeth at home contributes to a fresh, beautiful smile, routine professional teeth cleanings are needed to maintain the health of your smile. Fresher breath and a whiter, brighter smile are just two benefits of a professional teeth cleaning. Removing plaque and tartar during a professional dental cleaning removes millions of bacteria that live and grow in your mouth. Dental cleanings can improve your overall dental health and reduce the need for future dental procedures by helping to prevent cavities. Dr. John Koutsoyiannis recommends professional dental cleanings 2 to 3 times a year or 4 times a year if you have extensive dental work in your mouth.
WHAT ARE DENTAL CLEANINGS?
Dental cleanings involve the removal of tartar and other bacteria from the tooth surface in order to prevent cavities, gingivitis, or gum diseases. Regular teeth cleanings and exams can prevent serious dental issues from developing. Professional dental cleanings remove plaque, a sticky substance containing bacteria that eats away at the enamel of your teeth. When plaque is left on the teeth, it builds up and hardens into tartar. Professional dental cleanings remove stains and discolorations from the teeth, as well as plaque and tarter. Regular dental cleanings help to prevent periodontal disease from occurring. This has shown to have a link with heart disease in patients, yet another reason to see your dentist frequently for dental cleanings.
Tooth cleanings remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, which can lead to periodontal complications if left untreated. During your NYC dental cleaning, Dr. Koutsoyiannis also checks your overall gum health. If Dr. Koutsoyiannis notices any signs of gum recession or oral disease, he can recommend a dental treatment to achieve proper oral health. Typically, dental cleanings last between 60-75 minutes. For patients who have never had a teeth cleaning or who do not maintain regular cleaning check-ups, a dental cleaning may take longer.
