Get the Healthier Smile Possible with Your Dentist near Bridgewater NJ

Regular dental cleanings with your dentist near Bridgewater NJ are a mandatory piece of your oral health routine. By making and keeping your cleaning appointments, you can ensure a proper cleaning and optimal oral health. Our Brook Dental Associates team will remove any plaque that has developed between cleanings. It is important to note that even with proper brushing and flossing, plaque can still form in areas that are difficult to reach.

 

How it's done:

Your dental cleaning will take between 30-60 minutes. During this time, a member of our hygienist team will perform the cleaning. One of our skilled Bridgewater dentists will perform an additional exam at the end of the appointment. For most patients, dental cleanings are completely painless.

 

During your dental cleaning, the hygiene staff member will 'scale' the teeth. This involves removing any tartar and plaque buildup from the tooth services. The hygienist will also clean the gum pockets to remove any plaque buildup that is hiding there.

 

Next, the hygienist will polish and buff the teeth. This will remove any stubborn plaque, and leave your teeth feeling squeaky clean.

 

During your appointment, we will also evaluate you for periodontal disease. Periodontal disease usually forms when teeth haven't been cleaned in some time, or have not been cleaned properly. If you have developed periodontal disease, a deep, multi-step cleaning may be in order.
