What Is a Dental Cleaning?
A dental cleaning is a preventive dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth. Even with proper brushing and flossing, some buildup can only be removed with professional tools and techniques.
Routine cleanings help maintain oral hygiene, prevent dental problems, and support long-term oral health.

Regular dental cleanings help prevent:
- Cavities (tooth decay)
- Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)

- Early signs of oral health issues

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Step 1: Examination
Your teeth and gums are evaluated for signs of issues.
Step 2: Plaque and Tartar Removal
Special instruments are used to remove buildup from teeth and along the gumline.
