Book AppointmentWhat is a Dental Teeth Cleaning?
A professional teeth cleaning is a preventive treatment that removes plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and along your gumline. Even with excellent at-home brushing and flossing, some buildup can occur in hard-to-reach areas that only professional tools can remove. Regular cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other problems before they start.
The Benefits of Teeth Cleanings
Keeping up with your cleanings protects your smile and your overall health.
Cavity Prevention
Removing plaque and tartar stops decay before it has a chance to damage your teeth.
Healthier Gums
Regular cleanings reduce your risk of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
Fresher Breath
Cleanings eliminate bacteria and buildup that cause bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling clean.
Our Comprehensive Teeth Cleaning Process
Health History Review
We listen to your concerns and goals, then review your medical and dental history to personalize your care.
Buildup Removal
Our team carefully removes plaque and tartar from all surfaces of your teeth, including below the gumline.
Polishing and Protection
We polish your teeth to a smooth shine and may apply fluoride to strengthen your enamel against decay.
Is a Teeth Cleaning Right for You?
Teeth cleanings are recommended for patients of all ages, from children to older adults. Most people benefit from a cleaning every six months, though some may need more frequent visits depending on their gum health. If you have signs of gum disease, Dr. Kim may recommend a deep cleaning to address buildup beneath the gumline.
