This preventive cleaning removes everyday plaque and surface buildup to keep your smile fresh and your gums strong.
During a routine cleaning, a dental professional carefully removes plaque and hardened tartar from the surfaces of the teeth, paying close attention to the gumline and the spaces between teeth where buildup tends to collect. Specialized hand instruments and/or ultrasonic devices are used to gently clear away deposits while preserving healthy enamel. Once the teeth are free of buildup, they are polished with a professional-grade paste to lift surface stains and create a smooth, clean finish. The visit is completed with thorough flossing to ensure the areas between teeth are clean and refreshed.
Regular cleanings are usually recommended every six months; however, depending on an individual’s oral condition, more frequent visits may be advised to maintain optimal oral health.
