It takes more than just brushing and flossing your teeth at home to maintain dental health. Keeping your mouth healthy requires seeing your dentist at the dentist office for a checkup and cleaning at least twice a year. If you have plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth and gums that you are unable to remove on your own, your dentist removes it during these appointments.
Having your teeth cleaned is an easy and painless process. Using specialized instruments, your dentist will carefully remove the tartar and plaque from your teeth and under your gum line. Additionally, they will look for any indications of disease or decay in your gums and teeth.

FAQ
Is Dental Cleaning painful?
A dental cleaning isn’t typically painful. If it does cause tooth pain, there may be some other complication like tooth decay, or inflamed gums that we can look into and treat.
What can I expect from my appointment?
All stains, plaque, and tartar will be completely removed from teeth. Your teeth will be polished, and you will learn how to brush them correctly to maintain good breath and prevent dental issues.
What is tooth decay?
Some bacteria in our mouth can create acids that lead to cavities by attacking the tooth’s surface and creating a hole. This causes tooth decay.
After receiving a cleaning treatment, how long must you wait before eating?
You should wait for about 30 minutes after receiving the treatment for its effects to be sealed. Your pediatric dentist, family dentist or kids dentist will give you the right guidance on this after your treatment depending on the products used in the procedure at the dentist office.
