Once the X-Rays have been taken the hygienist will ask if you have been experiencing any particular problems.
* Remove plaque and tartar: The next stage of professional teeth cleaning is the removal of plaque and tartar, this operation uses several unique tools.
* Brushing and polishing: Once the plaque and tartar have been eliminated the hygienist will polish your teeth using a mild abrasive and a small rubber cup fitted to the hand piece. You will now be seen by your dentist.
Your dentist will undertake a carful and complete examination.
