Benefits of Dental Cleaning

• Prevents Cavities and Gum Disease: Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of decay and periodontal disease.
• Eliminates Bad Breath (Halitosis): Removing bacteria and food particles helps keep your breath fresh and clean.
• Brightens Your Smile: Professional polishing removes surface stains, giving your teeth a cleaner and whiter appearance.
• Detects Dental Issues Early: Routine checkups during cleanings help identify cavities, gum inflammation, and other oral health problems before they worsen.
• Boosts Overall Health: Good oral hygiene is linked to better overall health, reducing risks of heart disease and other systemic conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get a dental cleaning?
It is recommended to have a professional cleaning every six months, but some patients may need more frequent visits based on their oral health.

Does a dental cleaning hurt?
Cleanings are generally painless, but patients with sensitive teeth or gum disease may experience slight discomfort. Our team ensures a gentle and comfortable experience.

Can dental cleanings whiten my teeth?
Cleanings remove surface stains, making teeth appear brighter, but they do not change the natural color like professional whitening treatments.

Why is it important to remove tartar?
Tartar buildup can lead to gum disease and tooth decay. Unlike plaque, tartar cannot be removed with brushing alone and requires professional cleaning.
