DENTAL CLEANING

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for a healthy smile and fresh breath. At Dra. Luz Orozco - Dentist Bogotá, we offer deep dental cleaning services, ideal for preventing dental issues such as cavities and gingivitis. Discover how you can benefit from our dental cleaning and why this treatment is the first step toward a perfect smile.

WHAT IS A DENTAL CLEANING?

Dental cleaning is a deep oral hygiene procedure that removes tartar and plaque buildup from the teeth and gums. This treatment, also known as prophylaxis, teeth cleaning or scaling, prevents the formation of cavities and gum diseases, and is ideal for maintaining optimal oral health.

At Dra. Luz Orozco - Dentist Bogotá, we perform dental cleanings with advanced technology, including ultrasound treatment and a gentle polishing process that enhances the natural shine of your teeth, ensuring optimal results for our patients.

Dental check-ups are recommended every 6 months to prevent any oral diseases.

BENEFITS OF DEEP DENTAL CLEANING

Getting a deep dental cleaning every six months is key to good oral health and fresh breath. Some of the benefits of a dental scaling include:
 

  • Removal of tartar and plaque that regular brushing can’t reach.

  • Prevention of cavities and gum diseases.

  • Fresher breath and a brighter smile.

  • Early detection of dental issues.

​

Take advantage of our dental cleaning service in Bogotá to maintain impeccable oral hygiene and prevent future health problems.

WHEN IS A DENTAL CLEANING NECESSARY?

A deep dental cleaning is recommended if you have any of the following conditions:​

​

  • Tartar and Plaque Buildup: When there is excessive buildup of irritants that can’t be removed with regular brushing.
     

  • Inflamed or Bleeding Gums: If your gums bleed when brushing or flossing, it could indicate inflammation or gingivitis.
     

  • Stains on Teeth: These could be due to the presence of plaque and/or tartar.
     

  • Persistent Bad Breath: If bad breath persists, it may be caused by bacteria accumulated in the mouth.
    ​

  • Recommended Frequency: A dental cleaning is recommended every 6 months to maintain good oral health and prevent issues like gingivitis or periodontitis in the early stages.

DENTAL CLEANING AND TEETH WHITENING: WHY ARE THEY COMPLEMENTARY?

Getting a dental cleaning before a whitening treatment ensures that the surface of the teeth is free from plaque and tartar, and that the gums are healthy, allowing the whitening gel to work effectively.

At Dra. Luz Orozco - Dentist Bogotá, we recommend that our patients undergo a dental cleaning beforehand, ideally within the last month or when there is plaque and tartar buildup, to ensure the best results for their teeth whitening treatment.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DENTAL CLEANING FOR CHILDREN

​Dental cleaning in children, also known as pediatric prophylaxis, is essential for establishing good hygiene habits and preventing future dental issues. It is recommended that children begin dental cleanings around the age of 3, once they have most of their primary teeth. This procedure helps keep children’s teeth free from dental plaque during key stages of their development, preventing early cavities and maintaining strong teeth and healthy gums.

​

Additionally, the use of dental sealants on back teeth is an effective measure to prevent cavities in hard-to-reach areas. Starting these practices early not only protects children’s oral health but also establishes a solid foundation for maintaining healthy smiles throughout their lives.
