Having your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist is very important to maintain overall health. Research has identified the link between periodontal (gum) disease and potentially fatal conditions like stroke, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Brushing can often miss difficult-to-clean areas of the teeth, which results in a build-up of plaque. Once it hardens into tartar, regular brushing will not remove it. When the tartar goes below the gumline, bacterial infections will occur, which has an overall effect on your health.
To get your teeth their cleanest, we use a Piezo Scaler™ to remove the plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and the deep pockets under the gumline. The scaler is a hand tool that puts out high-frequency vibrations to loosen the deposits in a quick and efficient manner. Patients have told us there is less discomfort with this high-tech tool than with regular scaling instruments.
