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.

Why

undergo dental cleaning treatment?

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.
