Prior to your dental cleaning, your dentist will examine your teeth for any signs of decay, cavities and other dental issues. Then the hygienist will take away tartar or plaque buildup from your teeth by using professional dental instruments. They will then polish your teeth to clear stains and brighten their surface. Your dentist normally performs dental cleanings without using anesthesia but patients with known situations such as a strong gag reflex or anxiety may request some sedation.
