Teeth Cleaning
A professional cleaning that removes plaque and tartar buildup to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
What is Teeth Cleaning?
Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar buildup from your teeth, including areas that regular brushing and flossing at home cannot fully reach. Using specialized instruments, your dental hygienist carefully removes this buildup from both above and slightly below the gumline, then polishes your teeth to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth and clean. This is typically recommended every six months as part of routine preventive dental care, though some patients may benefit from more frequent cleanings based on their individual oral health needs.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Routine preventive dental care, recommended every six months
- Visible plaque or tartar buildup on the teeth
- Preventing gum disease and tooth decay
- Removing surface stains for a brighter smile
- Maintaining overall oral health as part of a regular dental care routine
How does this procedure help?
Regular professional cleaning removes the plaque and tartar that contribute to gum disease and tooth decay, addressing buildup that daily brushing and flossing alone cannot fully remove. Consistent cleanings are one of the most effective and simplest ways to maintain long-term oral health and catch developing issues early during your routine dental examination. Most patients also appreciate the immediate, visible difference in the brightness and smoothness of their teeth.
