Teeth Cleaning in Rockford, Dixon, Janesville, and Madison

A professional teeth cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains from the teeth. Regular cleanings are an important part of preventing gingivitis and helping maintain healthy teeth and gums.

When plaque is not removed, it can harden into tartar and contribute to inflammation of the gums. If gum disease progresses to periodontitis, it may damage the gum tissue and bone that support the teeth, eventually leading to gum recession, loose teeth, and tooth loss.

Fortunately, scheduling an appointment for professional teeth cleaning is extremely easy, minimally invasive, and has many significant benefits, including the following:

Removes tartar: When plaque builds up above and below the gum line, it will eventually harden and turn into tartar. At this stage, tartar cannot be removed through traditional brushing and flossing at home. A professional teeth cleaning will remove this tartar using specialized dental equipment.
Improves the aesthetics of your smile: If left untreated, periodontal disease can negatively impact the aesthetic appearance of your smile due to yellowing of teeth, gum recession, and in serious cases, the loss of teeth. Scheduling regular teeth cleanings is an effective method for avoiding these issues.
Freshens breath: Untreated periodontal disease can cause patients to develop chronic halitosis (bad breath) that persists even after brushing and flossing your teeth. Scheduling an appointment for teeth cleaning is one of the most effective methods for addressing this issue.
Identify underlying health issues: Part of the teeth cleaning process involves identifying the underlying issue. This thorough examination includes an oral cancer screening and evaluation for signs of medical problems, such as kidney issues or diabetes.

What to Expect During the Teeth Cleaning Process

Prior to teeth cleaning, we will conduct an in-depth review of your dental and medical health history and a thorough examination of your bite, along with any indications of loose teeth, bone loss, TMJ, oral cancer screening, and other signs of periodontal disease. We will also discuss any recent health history changes, measure the depths of your gum pockets, perform diagnostic exams (if necessary), and schedule a follow-up appointment for additional periodontal maintenance or for periodontal treatment to correct an underlying issue, if necessary.

Next, the teeth cleaning will begin. A thorough cleaning of the area above the gum line will remove bacteria and calculus.

If there is reason to believe underlying issues are present, it may be necessary to perform an X-Ray examination to identify any areas that may require attention and/or evaluate the extent of gum recession or bone loss. Once this is complete, we will discuss any necessary treatment options that should be considered and/or schedule a follow-up appointment for your next teeth cleaning. This appointment may be scheduled six months out or sooner for patients who suffer from or are at an increased risk of developing periodontitis.
