Comprehensive Dental Care by Registered Dental Hygienists
At Ardent Lynn Valley in North Vancouver, professional dental cleanings, including scaling, root planing, and polishing, are performed by our experienced Registered Dental Hygienists. A typical cleaning appointment also includes a thorough dental exam by the dentist. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
Removal of Calculus (Tartar)
Calculus, or tartar, is hardened plaque that firmly attaches to the teeth. It can form above and below the gum line and requires specialized dental instruments for removal.
Removal of Plaque
Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that accumulates on the teeth. It is composed of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria in plaque produce toxins that inflame the gums, leading to the early stages of periodontal disease, which can impact your overall health.
Teeth Polishing
Teeth polishing removes stains and residual plaque that are not eliminated through regular brushing and scaling, leaving your teeth clean and shiny.
If you haven’t had a professional tooth cleaning in the last six months, please contact our Lynn Valley office to book an appointment. Regular cleanings at Ardent Lynn Valley are essential for maintaining optimal oral health and preventing dental issues.
