A dental cleaning is a professional procedure performed by a dentist or hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. It helps keep your mouth healthy, prevents gum disease, and leaves your smile feeling fresh and clean.

Regular cleanings:

Prevent cavities and gum disease

Remove tartar buildup that brushing and flossing can’t reach

Help maintain fresh breath

Allow your dentist to catch issues early before they become bigger problems

Most people should get their teeth cleaned every six months. If you have gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or other dental concerns, your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings.

No — most cleanings are comfortable and painless. You may feel slight pressure or mild sensitivity, especially if you have tartar buildup or gum inflammation, but our team works gently to keep you at ease.

A cleaning removes surface stains and can make your teeth look brighter, but it is not the same as professional teeth whitening. For a whiter smile, ask us about our whitening options.
