Check-Ups & Cleanings in Brantford

• As your Brantford dentist, we recommend regular checkups and cleanings.

Regular dental checkups and cleanings are an important part of good dental health. A dental cleaning typically includes the following procedures:

Removal Of Tartar & Plaque

A cleaning, sometimes referred to as a prophylaxis, or prophy, includes scaling to remove plaque, calculus and stain from the visible portion of teeth. At Mantra Dental and EK Dental, our dental hygiene team will take great care to ensure your safety by using strict sterilization controls, educating you on your particular oral concerns and providing you with instruction as needed to keep your mouth healthy. Dental cleanings help prevent gum (periodontal) disease, a chronic inflammation and infection of the gums and surrounding tissue caused by plaque (bacteria). If plaque isn’t removed each day by brushing and flossing, it hardens into a rough, porous substance called calculus (also known as tartar).
