The basics

Why professional cleanings matter

Even with great home care, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. Regular cleanings prevent decay and gum disease.

During a cleaning, your hygienist removes buildup, polishes your teeth, and checks your gum health — pairing with your dental exam.

For patients with early gum disease, we may recommend a deeper cleaning to restore gum health.

Frequently asked

How often should I get a cleaning?

Most people benefit from a cleaning every six months, though some need them more often. We’ll recommend a schedule for you.

Does a cleaning hurt?

Cleanings are gentle. You may feel some sensitivity if your gums are inflamed, which improves as your gum health does.

What’s a deep cleaning?

A deep cleaning treats early gum disease by removing buildup below the gumline. We recommend it only when it’s needed.
