Dental hygiene
Cleanings are one of the simplest ways to keep your mouth healthy. Even with excellent brushing at home, plaque and tartar build up in areas that are easy to miss. A professional cleaning removes that buildup, supports healthy gums, and gives us a clear view of anything that may need attention.
These visits also help us stay ahead of small concerns. When we spot early signs of inflammation or decay, treatment is easier and more predictable — and often more comfortable.
What a cleaning supports
- Healthier gums and reduced inflammation
- Lower risk of cavities and sensitivity
- Earlier detection of changes or concerns
- A smoother, freshly polished smile
Why cleanings matter
Plaque and tartar can lead to gum irritation, bad breath, and deeper infections if left alone. Cleanings break that cycle. Removing buildup gives your gums the chance to recover and helps prevent issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
If you’ve noticed bleeding when brushing, new sensitivity, or anything that feels off, a cleaning and check-in can provide clarity and reassurance.
What happens during a cleaning
Your visit begins with a review of your teeth and gums. We gently remove plaque and tartar, smooth the tooth surfaces, and finish by polishing for a clean, fresh feel.
Throughout the appointment, we point out anything we see and share simple ways to keep things healthier at home. You leave knowing exactly where things stand.
