Teeth Cleaning
A clean, healthy smile starts with the basics, and that means professional teeth cleaning. We provide thorough dental cleanings designed to remove stubborn plaque, polish away surface stains, and support long-term oral health. Whether it’s your routine six-month visit or you’re getting back on track after some time away, our team makes the experience gentle, effective, and personalized.
What is Teeth Cleaning?
Teeth cleaning, also called prophylaxis, is a preventive dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. Even with excellent home care, bacteria and calculus can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas over time, especially near the gum line. A professional cleaning helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath while keeping your smile looking and feeling its best.
Benefits of Teeth Cleaning
3Prevents Gum Disease
Cleanings remove bacteria that cause gingivitis and periodontal disease.
1Stops Cavities Early
By removing plaque, we reduce the risk of decay before it starts.
2Freshens Breath
Cleanings help eliminate odor-causing bacteria in hard-to-reach areas.
4Detects Issues Early
Regular exams allow us to catch small problems before they become major concerns.
Signs You Might Need a Teeth Cleaning
- Bleeding Gums: If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it may be an early sign of gum disease. A professional cleaning can help remove plaque and prevent progression.
- Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by bacteria and tartar buildup. A thorough cleaning can significantly reduce odor and improve oral hygiene.
- Visible Plaque or Tartar: When your teeth feel rough or look yellow near the gumline, it may be hardened tartar that cannot be removed by brushing alone.
- Irregular Visit: Even if you’re not experiencing any symptoms, regular cleanings every six months help prevent cavities, gingivitis, and other common issues.
- Ongoing Health Conditions: Conditions like diabetes or heart disease can increase your risk for oral problems. Routine cleanings help lower your risk and support overall health.
Process of Getting Teeth Cleaning
Here’s what to expect when you visit us for Emergency Dental Care

Before cleaning begins, your hygienist will check your gums and teeth, looking for signs of inflammation, tartar buildup, or other concerns.
Scaling
Using specialized tools, we gently remove plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from above and below the gumline.
Polishing
We polish your teeth with a high-grade paste to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel.
Flossing & Rinse
Your hygienist will thoroughly floss between your teeth and provide a rinse to flush out any debris.
Fluoride (Optional)
For added protection against cavities, we may recommend a fluoride treatment, especially helpful for children or patients with high decay risk.
