Teeth Cleaning is a professional dental procedure performed by a dentist or dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. It helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while keeping your smile healthy.

Steps in a Professional Teeth Cleaning:

1. Oral Exam – The dentist or hygienist checks your mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues.
2. Plaque & Tartar Removal (Scaling) – A special tool is used to remove plaque and hardened tartar from your teeth, especially around the gum line.
3. Deep Cleaning (If Needed) – If you have gum disease, a deeper cleaning called scaling and root planing may be done to clean below the gum line.
4. Polishing – Teeth are polished with a gritty toothpaste to remove surface stains and make them smooth.
5. Flossing – The hygienist flosses between your teeth to remove any remaining debris.
6. Fluoride Treatment (Optional) – A fluoride gel or rinse may be applied to strengthen teeth and protect against cavities.
7. Oral Health Advice – The dentist may provide tips on brushing, flossing, and maintaining oral hygiene.

How Often Should You Get a Teeth Cleaning?

Most dentists recommend a professional cleaning every six months, but if you have gum disease or other dental concerns, you may need more frequent visits.
