Why You Need Professional Teeth Cleanings

Professional teeth cleaning treatments from your dentists in Burlington, and Jericho, VT, can help you maintain a healthy smile.

Brushing and flossing are great ways to protect your smile, but your smile needs professional teeth cleanings too. Professional teeth cleanings can mean the difference between getting gum or periodontal disease or enjoying a healthy smile for life.

Dr. Paul Dunkling and Dr. Greg Penney of Dunkling & Penney Dentistry offer a wide range of dental services, including professional teeth cleanings in Burlington, and Jericho, VT. They have two convenient office locations to help you maintain a healthy smile.

When you consider the health of your smile, the enemy is plaque. The sticky white film clinging to your teeth leads to a build-up of bacteria. If you don’t remove the plaque thoroughly and frequently, the bacteria can damage your enamel and inflame the gums. Professional teeth cleanings help lower bacteria levels and prevent oral disease.

During your teeth cleaning appointment, your dental care professional removes the plaque, and also the hard deposits, known as calculus or tartar. Removing the hard deposits is important because they provide a surface where plaque and bacteria can thrive.

Using both ultrasonic and hand instruments, your teeth will be cleaned thoroughly to promote a healthy tissue-to-tooth attachment. As a final step, your teeth will be polished free of stains so you can enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile.

Your teeth cleaning appointment is also an excellent opportunity for you to discuss and learn about the latest dental health information and tools to keep your smile healthy at home.
