Regular teeth cleanings are essential to maintaining good oral health because they help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental conditions. Plaque and tartar contribute to tooth decay and initial and advanced gum disease––all of which can be prevented or treated with excellent oral hygiene and routine cleanings by a dental professional.
Everyone's smile is different, so each person's needs are unique. We ask most patients to return for routine dental cleanings every six months to ensure their teeth and gums stay healthy and problem-free. Patients with gum disease may need to visit us for periodontal maintenance cleanings every three months.
What to Expect at a Regular Teeth Cleaning
During a routine dental cleaning, our hygiene team uses special instruments and techniques to thoroughly remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and around the gumline. We inspect your teeth and gums, remove plaque and tartar, gently scrub and polish the teeth, and floss between teeth. We finish the cleaning session by rinsing your mouth and applying fluoride treatment if needed.
