What Are Dental Cleanings?

Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can still build up over time. Professional cleanings reach the areas your toothbrush can’t—helping you avoid cavities, bad breath, and gum problems.
  • Removes Plaque & Tartar – We eliminate hardened buildup and bacteria that lead to decay and gum disease.

  • Polishes Teeth – Surface stains are gently polished away for a cleaner, brighter appearance.

  • Freshens Breath – Removing debris and bacteria helps eliminate persistent bad breath.

Teeth cleanings are a simple, powerful way to maintain a bright and healthy smile for life.

Why Routine Dental Cleanings Matter

Skipping cleanings can lead to more than just plaque. Routine visits give us the chance to monitor your oral health, spot issues early, and keep your gums and teeth in top condition.
  • Prevents Cavities – Removing plaque reduces your risk of tooth decay.

  • Protects Gums – Early signs of gum disease are caught and managed before they worsen.

  • Saves Money – Preventive care helps you avoid the need for more costly treatments later.

  • Promotes Overall Wellness – Oral health is closely linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic issues.

Prevention starts with a clean mouth—and that begins with your next cleaning.

Cleanings benefit patients of all ages, and are typically recommended every 6 months. Some may need more frequent care depending on their oral health needs.
  • Children and adults of all ages

  • People with a history of gum disease or cavities

  • Smokers or those with diabetes

  • Anyone with braces, crowns, or dental implants

If it’s been a while since your last visit, we’re here to help—no judgment, just great care.

Signs You’re Due for a Cleaning

Even if you brush and floss regularly, your mouth may still give you signs that it’s time to come in.
  • Bleeding or sore gums

  • Persistent bad breath

  • Tartar buildup along the gumline

  • Stained or yellowed teeth

Don’t wait for discomfort—routine cleanings help you stay ahead of problems.
