Why regular cleanings matter

To keep your mouth healthy, it's important to get rid of plaque, a haven for bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease. We advise booking professional dental cleanings twice annually to ensure our hygienist can thoroughly remove any built-up plaque, tartar, and food particles from your teeth and gums.

What happens during a dental cleaning?

There are two methods for performing dental cleanings: hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers. Hand instruments are designed to remove deposits from the teeth, while ultrasonic scalers use water and vibrations for cleaning. Our hygienist may use a combination of both methods for the best results.

During a routine cleaning, the focus is on the surface areas around the tooth's neck, above or slightly below the gumline. This process is usually painless and simple. However, for patients with sensitive teeth or other dental issues that may cause discomfort, we can provide numbing gels or local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience.

A bright shining smile

After thoroughly cleaning the areas around your teeth and gums, our hygienist will polish your teeth to remove any surface stains. You will leave with a rejuvenated and sparkling smile, as well as expert tips on proper brushing and flossing techniques. Additionally, we will provide valuable dietary advice to improve your oral health and overall well-being.
