Unlock Optimal Oral Health with VLIJT Dentists' Dental Cleaning
What
is dental cleaning?
Dental cleaning is a treatment performed by a prevention assistant or dental hygienist. During the treatment, the condition of the gums is checked and the mouth is cleaned of tartar and staining, and the teeth are polished.
At VLIJT Dentists we work with a combination of treatments for optimal oral hygiene and a healthy mouth, adapted to individual needs.
Dental cleaning is necessary in the presence of plaque, tartar, deposits or deepened pockets.
Dental plaque
a sticky, soft layer that constantly forms on the teeth and consists of bacteria. Regular removal is crucial to prevent tooth decay and gum problems.
Tartar
calcified plaque that adheres firmly to the teeth and can only be removed professionally.
Deposits
visual damage to the teeth due to diet or habits such as smoking.
Pockets
during check-ups, we measure your pockets, which are indicators for the health of your gums, jawbone and teeth. Together with a dental hygienist or prevention assistant, a suitable, individualised treatment is carried out.
The VLIJT
approach
At VLIJT Dentists, a suitable care plan is drawn up for you during your intake. Here we will decide whether professional dental cleaning is necessary. If this is the case, you will make an appointment with one of the dental hygienists or prevention assistants.
Your dentist will draw up a personal plan in consultation with them, tailored to your personal situation.
The Importance of Regular Dental Cleaning
Regular dental cleaning is essential for maintaining optimal oral health. It helps remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental problems. By undergoing professional cleaning at VLIJT Dentists, you can prevent these issues and ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy.
During a dental cleaning, our experienced hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing any stubborn deposits or stains. They will also polish your teeth, leaving them feeling smooth and refreshed. This process not only improves the appearance of your smile but also promotes better oral hygiene and overall health.
Personalized Dental Care Plan
At VLIJT Dentists, we understand that every patient has unique dental needs and preferences. That's why we take the time to develop a personalized care plan for each individual. During your initial consultation, our dentists will assess the condition of your teeth and gums, and work with you to create a tailored treatment plan.
This plan may include regular dental cleanings, as well as other preventive or restorative services, such as fillings, crowns, or even dental implants. By working closely with you, we can ensure that your oral health is maintained at the highest level and that you feel confident and comfortable with the care you receive.
Maintaining Oral Hygiene Between Visits
While professional dental cleanings are essential, it's also important to maintain good oral hygiene at home. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash to help reduce plaque and prevent gum disease.
By combining regular dental visits with diligent home care, you can keep your teeth and gums healthy and minimize the risk of future dental problems. Our team at VLIJT Dentists is here to provide you with the guidance and support you need to achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
Preventing Oral Health Issues
Dental cleaning is not just about keeping your teeth clean and bright; it's also a critical step in preventing serious oral health issues. By regularly removing plaque and tartar buildup, you can reduce your risk of developing conditions like tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss.
At VLIJT Dentists, we believe in a proactive approach to dental care. Our team will work with you to identify potential problem areas and implement preventive measures to keep your mouth healthy. This may include additional cleanings, fluoride treatments, or other targeted interventions based on your individual needs.
