What Is a Dental Cleaning?
A dental cleaning is a preventive procedure performed by a licensed dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. Cleanings help protect against tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath while supporting overall oral health.
Dental cleanings are often combined with routine exams to catch problems early—before they become painful or costly.
What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning Appointment
Types of Dental Cleanings We Offer
Prophylactic Dental Cleaning
This routine cleaning is ideal for patients with healthy gums and minimal tartar buildup. It helps maintain oral health and reverse early signs of gingivitis or enamel demineralization.
Periodontal Cleaning (Deep Cleaning)
For patients with gum disease, periodontal cleanings target bacteria and buildup below the gumline to help control infection and prevent tooth loss.
