Teeth Cleaning & Scaling

OVERVIEW

Professional teeth cleaning, or prophylaxis, is the most effective way to prevent periodontal disease and tooth decay. Even with perfect brushing habits, plaque can harden into tartar (calculus) in hard-to-reach areas, which can only be removed by a dental professional. Our hygiene sessions are comprehensive, involving ultrasonic scaling to remove buildup and airflow polishing to eliminate surface stains from coffee, tea, or tobacco. We also perform a thorough periodontal screening to check for early signs of gum recession or inflammation. Beyond cleaning, our hygienists provide personalized coaching on home care techniques tailored to your specific oral anatomy. This preventive approach is essential for maintaining the health of both your natural teeth and any dental restorations you may have. We recommend a professional cleaning every six months to keep your breath fresh and your smile bright. It is a painless and refreshing experience that forms the foundation of oral wellness.
