WHY IT MATTERS

Why Professional Teeth Cleaning Is Essential

Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Left untreated, these deposits can lead to cavities, gum disease, and persistent bad breath.
Professional teeth cleaning helps remove harmful buildup while giving your dentist the opportunity to monitor your oral health and catch problems before they become serious.

How often should I have my teeth professionally cleaned?
Most patients benefit from professional teeth cleanings every six months, although those with gum disease or certain oral health conditions may require more frequent visits.
Most cleanings are comfortable and painless. If you have sensitive teeth or inflamed gums, we take extra care to keep you comfortable throughout your visit.
Plaque is a soft bacterial film that forms on teeth daily. If not removed through brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional.
Professional cleaning removes many surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco, making your smile appear brighter. However, it is not the same as professional teeth whitening.
Yes. Daily brushing and flossing are essential, but professional cleanings remove tartar and bacteria from areas that are difficult to clean at home.
