Teeth Cleanings in Sandy Springs
Explore how dental crowns can help you achieve a healthier, brighter smile!
Maintaining a healthy smile goes beyond just brushing twice a day. Regular teeth cleanings, also known as dental prophylaxis, are a vital part of preventive dental care. Here at Aura Dental Studio, we are committed to providing comprehensive and gentle teeth cleanings for patients in Sandy Springs.
Why are teeth cleanings important?
Even with a diligent at-home oral hygiene routine, plaque and tartar buildup can occur. Plaque is a sticky film that forms on teeth harboring bacteria. If left unchecked, plaque hardens into tartar (calculus), which can only be removed by a professional dental cleaning.
Here are some of the key benefits of regular teeth cleanings:
- Prevents Gum Disease: Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line, reducing inflammation and preventing the progression of gum disease.
- Reduces Cavities: Plaque buildup can eat away at tooth enamel, leading to cavities. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar, helping to prevent cavities and the need for more extensive dental procedures down the road.
- Freshens Breath: Bad breath (halitosis) can be caused by a buildup of bacteria in the mouth. Cleanings remove these bacteria, leaving your breath feeling fresh and clean.
- Improves Overall Health: Studies have shown a link between gum disease and other health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Regular cleanings can help improve your overall health by maintaining healthy gums.

What to Expect During a Teeth Cleaning
Our gentle and experienced hygienists will perform a thorough cleaning during your appointment. Here’s a general overview of what to expect:
- Dental Exam: The hygienist will begin by examining your teeth and gums for any signs of problems.
- X-rays (if needed): Dental x-rays may be recommended to check for cavities or other dental issues below the surface of the teeth.
- Teeth Cleaning: Using specialized instruments, the hygienist will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from all surfaces of your teeth, including above and below the gum line.
- Flossing: The hygienist will floss your teeth to remove any remaining plaque or debris.
- Polishing: A gritty toothpaste is used to polish your teeth, removing surface stains and leaving them smooth and shiny.
- Fluoride Treatment (optional): A fluoride treatment may be recommended to strengthen your tooth enamel and further prevent cavities.
How Often Should I Get My Teeth Cleaned?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends getting your teeth cleaned and examined by a dentist at least once a year. However, depending on your individual oral health needs, more frequent cleanings (every 3-6 months) may be recommended. We will discuss the ideal cleaning schedule for you during your appointment.
