Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas, leading to dental issues over time. A professional teeth cleaning removes these deposits before they cause problems like:
- Cavities and tooth decay
- Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Tooth discoloration and staining
- Tooth loss due to advanced gum disease
Scheduling a dental cleaning every six months is the best way to maintain good oral health and catch potential issues early.
Types of Dental Cleanings We Offer
Routine Dental Cleaning (Prophylaxis)
A standard dental cleaning is recommended for patients with healthy gums. This treatment includes:
- Removal of plaque and tartar buildup
- Deep cleaning along the gum line
- Polishing to remove surface stains
- Fluoride treatment (optional) for added protection
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
Patients showing signs of gum disease may need a deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing. This treatment helps remove bacteria below the gum line to prevent further infection and gum recession.
- Scaling: Removes plaque and tartar from deep pockets around the teeth
- Root Planing: Smooths the tooth roots to encourage gum reattachment and healing
If you have bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession, a deep cleaning may be necessary to restore your oral health.
What to Expect During Your Teeth Cleaning
- 01
Comprehensive Oral Exam
Before the cleaning, our team will examine your teeth and gums to check for signs of decay, infection, or gum disease.
- 02
Plaque & Tartar Removal
Using special dental tools, we carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup, especially in areas that are difficult to clean at home.
- 03
Teeth Polishing
A polishing paste is used to remove surface stains and smooth your teeth, giving them a cleaner, brighter appearance.
- 04
Fluoride Treatment (Optional)
Fluoride strengthens your enamel and helps protect against cavities. This step is especially beneficial for children and those prone to tooth decay.
- 05
Personalized Oral Health Advice
Our team will provide recommendations for brushing, flossing, and diet adjustments to help maintain a healthy smile between visits.
How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?
For most patients, a dental cleaning every six months is recommended. However, some individuals may need more frequent cleanings based on their oral health needs.
Patients with gum disease, a history of cavities, or orthodontic treatments may benefit from more frequent visits. Our team will help determine the best cleaning schedule for you.
Signs You May Need a Dental Cleaning
If you haven’t had a professional teeth cleaning in a while, you may notice symptoms that indicate it’s time to schedule an appointment:
- Persistent bad breath
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Yellow or brown tartar buildup
- Tooth sensitivity
- Gum recession or loose teeth
Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious dental issues. Early treatment can prevent complications and keep your smile healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings
-
Do dental cleanings hurt?
No, professional cleanings are typically painless. If you have sensitive teeth or gum disease, you may experience mild discomfort, but our team takes extra care to ensure a gentle experience.
-
How long does a dental cleaning take?
A routine dental cleaning usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on plaque buildup and gum health.
-
Is a deep cleaning different from a regular cleaning?
Yes. A deep cleaning is needed when there is gum disease, and it involves removing bacteria below the gum line. A routine cleaning focuses on plaque and tartar above the gums.
-
Will my insurance cover a dental cleaning?
Most dental insurance plans cover two cleanings per year as part of preventive care. We can verify your insurance benefits and discuss any out-of-pocket costs.
-
Can a dental cleaning whiten my teeth?
A professional cleaning removes surface stains, making your teeth look brighter. For more significant whitening, we offer cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening.
