Hygiene Treatments

The Kraft of Prevention

Our professional hygiene treatments go far beyond just “cleaning your teeth.” We provide deep, personalized care that targets plaque, bacteria, and early signs of disease before they impact your health or your confidence.

Using advanced tools and digital diagnostics, we make each visit more precise, more comfortable, and more effective than ever.

Why Professional Dental Hygiene Matters?

Even with excellent at-home brushing and flossing, it’s nearly impossible to remove all plaque and tartar—especially in those hard-to-reach spots below the gumline. Over time, this buildup can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and even contribute to systemic health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Our hygiene team is trained to catch early warning signs of these issues, helping you avoid more serious (and costly) treatments later on.

What’s Included in a Hygiene Visit at Dental Krafts?

At Dental Krafts, a hygiene appointment is more than a cleaning—it’s a comprehensive oral wellness session. Here’s what to expect:

  • Digital Dental Exam: We start with a full-mouth digital scan and/or X-rays to check for any developing issues like cavities, gum inflammation, or bone loss.
  • Gentle Prophylaxis (Professional Cleaning): Using ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments, we remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth and along the gumline.
  • Polishing & Fluoride Treatment: We polish your teeth for a smooth, clean finish and apply a fluoride varnish to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities—especially helpful for kids and adults prone to decay.
  • Gum Health Assessment: Our hygienists measure pocket depths around each tooth to detect early signs of gingivitis or periodontitis, and recommend personalized care plans to stop it in its tracks.
  • Sealants (if needed): For children and cavity-prone adults, we may recommend dental sealants—thin coatings applied to chewing surfaces of molars for long-term protection.

What is an Ultrasonic Scaler?

An ultrasonic scaler is a handheld device that vibrates at high frequencies—up to 30,000 cycles per second—to remove hardened deposits from your teeth and below the gumline. As it vibrates, it sprays a fine stream of water to cool the tip and flush away debris and bacteria.

At Dental Krafts, we are committed to helping you maintain a strong, healthy smile through preventive care and personalized treatment. Schedule your next check-up today-because taking care of your teeth now means fewer problems in the future! Our goal is to keep your smile bright, healthy, and problem-free. Whether it’s your first visit or a routine check-up, you’ll receive personalized care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

– Benefits of Ultrasonic Scalers

Deep Cleaning Efficiency
Ultrasonic scalers are excellent at reaching into deep pockets and tight spaces, especially below the gums, to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) that brushing and flossing can’t reach.

Faster, More Comfortable Treatment
Many patients find ultrasonic cleanings more comfortable and faster than manual scraping—ideal for busy schedules or anxious patients.

Kills Bacteria with Cavitation
The high-frequency vibrations create microscopic bubbles that rupture harmful bacteria, helping reduce inflammation and promote gum healing.

Reduces the Need for Manual Scraping
While some hand scaling may still be necessary, ultrasonic tools do most of the work—minimizing discomfort and maximizing precision.

Gentle on Teeth and Gums

Because they require less force, ultrasonic scalers are less likely to damage enamel or irritate your gums.
