Essential Care
for a Healthy Smile

Preventive dentistry is all about maintaining optimal oral health to avoid issues such as cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear. At All Star Dental in Brownsburg, IN, we emphasize the importance of preventive care to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy and strong.

What Are
Dental Cleanings?

Dental cleanings are a vital component of preventive dentistry, aimed at removing plaque and tartar buildup to prevent dental problems before they start. During a dental cleaning, our skilled hygienists perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth, typically completed in less than 30 minutes. Regular cleanings, recommended every six months, are essential for maintaining oral health and avoiding more serious dental issues.

The Dental Cleaning Process

  1. Scaling: This process involves the removal of plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and below the gumline. Scaling uses specialized tools to effectively clean all areas of your teeth, depending on the amount of buildup present.

  2. Root Planing: For patients with significant plaque accumulation, root planing may be performed to smooth the root surfaces and remove any tartar and bacteria that have accumulated beneath the gumline.

  3. Polishing: After scaling and root planing, the teeth are polished to remove any remaining plaque and to smooth the tooth surfaces. Polishing helps minimize future plaque buildup and leaves your teeth feeling clean and smooth.

The Importance of Routine Dental Cleanings

  • Preventive Care: Regular dental cleanings help prevent plaque buildup, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. By addressing plaque and tartar before they cause issues, we help you avoid more costly and complex treatments.

  • Early Detection: Cleanings include a thorough examination where our dental team can spot early signs of potentia problems, such as cavities or gum disease, allowing for timely intervention.

  • Maintaining Oral Health: Routine cleanings contribute to overall oral health, helping you maintain a beautiful and healthy smile for years to come.
