Teeth Cleaning in New York

A teeth cleaning and checkup recall should be incorporated into everyone’s routine. The American Dental Association strongly recommends at minimum a professional dental cleaning every six months. Professional teeth cleanings offer many benefits that even those with excellent oral hygiene can gain value from. These cleanings improve oral health and help professionals identify any potential problems before they begin to hurt. At Luxury Dentistry NYC, we strive to offer our patients the best possible dental cleaning experience.

What happens during a dental cleaning?

During a dental cleaning, our hygienist will typically perform the following:

First, any pertinent medical information that may impact oral health is reviewed with the patient, including medications, diabetes, pregnancy, or heart problems.
A digital X-ray series may be taken of the patient’s mouth. This is to help us identify any potential cavities, loose or degrading fillings, or any other problems that may not be visible to the eye. If the patient mentions any concerns with chewing, biting, or grinding, Dr. Davidowitz may be consultated and solutions such as a mouth guard, orthodontics, or TMJ and Botox treatment may be discussed.
The hygienist will thoroughly clean the surface of each tooth. Plaque and tartar can build up on the surface of teeth, and may not be fully removed with regular brushing or flossing.
Using a state of the art gentle piezo scaler, we can safely remove this build up. This step is important, as there are many areas between teeth that may not be fully cleansed with regular oral hygiene maintenance. The hygienist may find the need to apply special numbing gels to the gums for a more comfortable cleaning.
Finally, the teeth will be polished, which may also help remove surface stains of the teeth.
Patients will then have a thorough comprehensive examination by Dr. Davidowitz.

What is LBR ?

LBR stands for Laser Bacterial Reduction, which uses state of the art laser technology for the most effective method of reducing the bacteria that lives in the pockets around your teeth. Without proper reduction, these bacteria can lead to infections that cause Gingivitis and Periodontal Disease.
LBR is completely painless, and only takes approximately 5-10 minutes. The results decrease and eliminate these harmful smelly bacteria for up to 3 months! Why is LBR better than just traditional cleaning?
Bacteria persist by migrating beneath the gums and into the underlying tissue. Where traditional cleaning is limited to the removal of surface deposits in the pockets of your mouth, a laser can extend beneath the tissue to disrupt and destroy the bacterium. The painless heat of the laser thermally dehydrates the biofilms. Since dehydration is lethal to bacteria, the potential for infection and gum detachment is significantly decreased. In addition there is a decrease in the smelly pathogens for up to 3 months which greatly reduces odors caused by these bacteria.

Additional Benefits to LBR

Lurking bacterium has the added danger of cross contamination, which spreads infection to other areas our mouths. Bacteria can even make their way into our bloodstream, plaguing other areas of our bodies with oral pathogens. Laser bacterial reduction is the best way to protect against infection and sickness caused by the spread of bacteria.

Decontaminate before every cleaning

The decontamination process is completely painless and normally takes about five minutes. We highly recommend that you take advantage of this service as part of your routine cleaning. Because it is painless and quick, it is easy to begin an LBR regimen right away.

Please ask your hygienist or Dr. Davidowitz if you have any questions regarding this treatment.

We look forward to seeing you at the office and continuing to give the best dental care available.
