  • Examination of tooth decay :

Professional Dental Cleaning

Professional dental cleanings Norman OK are usually performed by Registered Dental Hygienists. Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and the following:

  • Removal of calculus (tartar) :
  • Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface. Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
  • Removal of plaque :

  • Teeth polishing : 
    Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.
