Dental Cleaning is a routine preventive visit where your hygienist removes plaque and tartar from your teeth. It helps keep your mouth fresh, your gums healthy, and prevents problems like cavities and early-stage gum disease from developing.
Using gentle instruments, your hygienist removes plaque and hardened tartar from teeth and along the gumline. Polishing and flossing follow. This keeps your teeth clean, your breath fresh, and your gums healthy between visits. No numbing is needed.
Dental Cleaning helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. It removes plaque and tartar your toothbrush can’t reach, keeping your teeth strong and your gums healthy. Regular cleanings are the foundation of a long-lasting, confident smile.
Dental Cleaning
Prevent problems with regular dental cleanings.
Everyone should get a dental cleaning every six months. It’s especially important for patients wanting to prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while keeping their teeth and gums healthy long term.
Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline. This is followed by polishing and flossing. The process is comfortable, usually takes under an hour, and helps keep your smile fresh, clean, and cavity-free.
Dental cleanings typically take 45–60 minutes. If it’s your first cleaning in a while or you have buildup, it may take a bit longer. Most patients return every 6 months for routine cleanings to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
Regular cleanings are essential to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Even if your teeth feel fine, buildup can form beneath the surface. Be sure to schedule cleanings every 6 months—or more frequently if your dentist recommends it.
No recovery time is needed after a dental cleaning. Your teeth might feel a little sensitive for a day, especially after a deeper cleaning. Maintain good hygiene and stay on schedule for your next cleaning visit.
