Dental Cleanings

Keep your smile healthy with professional dental cleanings

Dental cleanings are essential for maintaining your oral health. During a cleaning, your dental hygienist will remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Regular cleanings not only keep your smile bright and fresh but also contribute to overall health by reducing the risk of more serious dental problems. We recommend professional cleanings every six months to keep your teeth and gums in top condition.

Annual cleanings for better long term oral health

Dental cleanings begin with an examination of your teeth and gums, followed by the removal of plaque and tartar buildup using specialized tools. After the cleaning, your hygienist will polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile feeling smooth. Fluoride treatment may also be applied to strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities. This routine procedure helps ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy, with minimal discomfort.

Regular cleanings eliminate plaque buildup, which helps prevent cavities and tooth decay by keeping harmful bacteria in check and allowing your dentist to spot any early signs of issues.
Reduces Gum Disease
Removing tartar and plaque during cleanings helps prevent gum disease by reducing inflammation and preventing bacteria from accumulating along the gumline.

Dental cleanings help eliminate food particles and bacteria that contribute to bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
