Dental Cleanings in Georgetown, KY | Georgetown Sedation Dentistry

Every day, your teeth face an uphill battle against food debris and bacteria, which threaten your oral health. At Georgetown Sedation Dentistry, we can perform dental cleanings to remove accumulated plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?

The cleaning starts with a visual examination of your teeth and gums to identify bacteria, gingivitis, and signs of tooth decay.

After the oral exam, we use instruments like ultrasonic scalers to eliminate plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and around your gums. Ultrasonic scalers emit high-frequency vibrations to break down stubborn buildup and make the process more comfortable and efficient.

Finally, we smooth out your teeth with a rotating brush or rubber cup. We also work with the AIRFLOW® air polisher, which produces a stream of air, water, and fine powder to clean and polish your teeth.

We may recommend a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.
