What Is A Dental Cleaning?
Even if you have a perfect oral hygiene routine at home, getting a professional dental cleaning at Apex Dentistry can still be beneficial twice a year.

Boettcher to check for any areas of concern in the mouth that might need care. Having a professional cleaning is a vital step in maintaining your oral health so schedule appointments for your family at our North Platte, NE practice.
What Should I Expect During A Dental Cleaning?
A professional cleaning starts by removing the plaque and tartar that have built up on your teeth, which can be challenging to treat at home, no matter how often you brush and floss. Professional tools are used to scale buildup without affecting the enamel. To begin, an ultrasonic device addresses large areas of tartar and plaque with high-speed vibrations and a lubricating mist. Next, a fine handheld instrument, like a curette or scaler, will be used to remove the remaining pieces. Each tooth must be treated individually to get all the tartar and plaque. Once your teeth have been scaled, your enamel will be carefully polished to strengthen the enamel and remove stains. If requested or needed, a fluoride treatment will be done after your cleaning.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Cleanings?
North Platte, NE patients who get regular dental cleanings can expect to have several advantages after their appointment, including:
- Opportunity to elect for fluoride treatment to strengthen and shield dental health
- Decreasing plaque and tartar buildup
- Enhancement of overall tooth wellness and aesthetic
- Protecting against diseases, like cavities or various issues before they progress
