Here are some things that you will benefit from when going to your cleanings.

- Good health habits: Coming to the dentist and getting a regular cleaning every 3-6 months can help keep your teeth in great condition, ultimately increasing your confidence and longevity of your teeth.
How do we Clean your Teeth?
Common Myths
- Step 1: Imaging – taking images (x-rays and pictures) of your teeth so the doctor can look at the overall health of each tooth.
- Step 2: Polishing teeth – your teeth will be polished to remove stains, and smooth the surface of your teeth.
- Step 3: Professional Flossing – Your teeth will then be flossed to remove anything left between them. This will help us indicate where gums may bleed and see any concerning areas.
- Step 4: Oral exam – our dentist will review these images and check on the teeth and gums for any concerns.
- Step 5: Fluoride treatment (optional) – you will be given the option to receive fluoride treatment to help strengthen your enamel and make your teeth more cavity resistant.
Myth: Dental visits are always painful.
Fact: Generally, no. If you feel discomfort, please let our skilled clinicians know.
Myth: You only need to go when there is a problem.
Fact: Attending regular cleaning appointments can help prevent dental issues from developing. These checkups allow early detection of common problems like cavities or gum disease before they worsen and also include screening for more serious conditions, such as oral cancer.
Myth: X-rays are unnecessary and harmful.
Fact: X-rays play a crucial role in helping the doctor diagnose problems that would otherwise be impossible to detect, allowing for treatment before small issues become bigger ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
A professional cleaning in dental terms is called a prophylaxis. Our highly educated hygienists will clean your teeth, floss, and check for gum disease. Coming to your appointment every 3-6 months is important to prevent the build-up of plaque and calculus, which if left untreated can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss.
This can depend on each patient’s needs, but the American Dental Association recommends that patients have their teeth cleaned at least twice a year. Patients who have a history of periodontal disease may need more than two cleanings a year.
There’s nothing better than that freshly cleaned smile feeling. The hygienist will perform a cancer screening, remove plaque and calculus, polish your teeth, and floss. The hygienist will also share oral hygiene instructions with you so you can maintain that clean smile until your next cleaning appointment. The doctor will read the X-rays and perform the exam.
Cleanings can remove surface stains. However, some stains may require treatment like whitening to fix them.
Generally, no. If you feel discomfort during your cleaning, please let your clinician know.
No. Cleanings are a safe procedure that does not damage the enamel of the teeth. The tools that the hygienist uses are specifically made to clean teeth without causing any damage to the enamel or tooth.
A cleaning is a procedure that removes plaque, calculus, and superficial stains from teeth. Professional smile whitening removes stains from the inside out.
A cleaning appointment may take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, but this can vary depending on your oral health and the condition of your teeth and gums.
Unless directed by your hygienist or dentist, there are no restrictions.
