What is Teeth Cleaning?

Teeth cleaning, also known as dental prophylaxis, is a professional procedure designed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains that can’t be eliminated through regular brushing and flossing. Even with the best at-home oral hygiene routine, some areas of your mouth may be difficult to clean effectively.

At Clove Dental, our team of skilled dental hygienists uses advanced tools and techniques to ensure your teeth and gums stay in optimal condition. Routine cleanings help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health concerns, paving the way for a healthier smile.

Signs You Might Need a Professional Teeth Cleaning

While regular cleanings are recommended every six months, certain signs may indicate it’s time to visit us sooner:
  • Persistent Bad Breath: If bad breath persists despite brushing and flossing, it may be due to plaque buildup or gum disease.
  • Bleeding Gums: Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing could signal gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease.
  • Tartar Buildup: Unlike plaque, tartar cannot be removed at home and requires professional cleaning.
  • Stained or Discolored Teeth: Coffee, tea, and tobacco can cause unsightly stains that professional cleaning can address.
  • Loose or Sensitive Teeth: These symptoms may point to underlying gum issues that need immediate attention.

 

If you’re experiencing any of these signs, schedule a teeth cleaning appointment with our Riverpark dental team today!

Removing plaque and bacteria improves breath and boosts confidence.
Healthier Gums
Professional cleaning reduces the risk of gum disease by eliminating bacteria and tartar buildup.

Research shows a strong link between oral health and overall well-being, with clean teeth lowering the risk of systemic issues like heart disease and diabetes.
Early Detection of Issues
During cleanings, our team examines your oral health to catch potential problems early, saving you time and money.

  2. Scaling: Using specialized tools, we’ll remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and below the gumline.
  3. Polishing: After scaling, we polish your teeth to remove surface stains and make them smooth and shiny.
  4. Flossing: Our hygienist will floss between your teeth to ensure no debris is left behind.
  5. Fluoride Treatment (Optional): To strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities, we may recommend a fluoride treatment as the final step.
