What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning
Comprehensive exam
Gum health check
Your gums are evaluated for any signs of gingivitis or inflammation.
Tartar and plaque removal
Using special ultrasonic instruments and hand scalers, we carefully remove hardened tartar and plaque from your teeth, including those hard-to-reach areas.
Professional flossing
We floss between your teeth to clear out any remaining debris or plaque.
Polishing
Next, we polish your teeth with a gentle polishing paste, which removes surface stains and leaves your enamel shiny and smooth.
Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings
Brighter smile and fresher breath
Removing built-up plaque and surface stains makes your teeth look cleaner, and your breath smell fresher.
Early problem detection
During your cleaning visit, our team can spot early signs of issues like cavities or gum disease before they become serious.
Prevent gum disease
Professional cleanings remove plaque bacteria below the gumline, helping to prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Avoid tooth loss
Keeping your gums healthy with regular cleanings helps maintain the support for your teeth, reducing the risk of teeth becoming loose or lost due to gum disease.
