The hygienist uses a tool called a scaler to remove plaque and tartar from between teeth and around the gum line. Brushing and flossing regularly prevents tartar from building up so making that a part of your routine will make this part easier.
The hygienist will use a commercial electric brush against your teeth. This makes a grinding sound and feels like they are sanding because you will feel the grit. They aren't sanding. The grit you feel is a type of toothpaste the hygienist uses that scrubs your teeth. After this, the hygienist will give your teeth a flossing and a dental rinse. Some offices include adding a fluoride treatment to cleanings, although that could be an additional charge.
