What is Teeth Cleaning?
Keeping your teeth and gums healthy starts with regular dental cleanings. This safe, non-invasive procedure is performed by a dentist or dental hygienist and plays a major role in preventing dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
During a cleaning, your dental professional gently removes:
- Plaque (a soft film of bacteria)
- Tartar (hardened plaque)
- Surface stains
Advanced tools like ultrasonic scalers and manual instruments clean both above and below the gumline.
Preventive services like fluoride treatments or sealants may also be provided during the same visit.
If you feel anxious, ask about sedation dentistry for a relaxed experience.
What Dental Cleaning Does:
- Removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains
- Polishes teeth for a cleaner, brighter look

How It Works:
- Scaling tools and ultrasonic devices remove buildup
