Frequently asked questions
Why are dental cleanings important?
Dental cleanings are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing serious oral health issues. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing at home can’t fully eliminate. They help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, while also giving your dentist a chance to spot potential problems early.
What happens during a dental cleaning?
During a cleaning, our hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth using special tools. Your teeth are then polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth and refreshed. The visit often ends with a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel. The entire process is thorough, comfortable, and designed to protect your oral health.
How often should I schedule a dental cleaning?
Most people benefit from a dental cleaning every six months. However, depending on your oral health needs, we may recommend more frequent cleanings, especially if you’re managing conditions like gum disease. Regular cleanings are a simple and effective way to keep your smile healthy and bright!
