Support Your Oral Health
Getting your teeth professionally cleaned is a vital part of protecting your overall dental health. These visits help remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that lead to bad breath, tooth decay, and gum inflammation. Your hygienist can clean areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush or floss, and regular visits allow us to spot issues before they worsen.
Consistent cleanings also help your teeth appear brighter without the need for whitening treatments.

Benefits of Routine Cleanings:
What Happens During a Teeth Cleaning?
Checking Your Gum Health
Your gums are the foundation for healthy teeth. We will inspect your gums, teeth, and tongue, paying close attention to the areas around the gumline to watch for swelling, redness, or other early signs of concern. No need to be nervous,we are here to help, not to judge.
Removing Plaque and Tartar
Plaque is a sticky coating that builds up from food and bacteria. When it hardens, it turns into tartar and cannot be removed at home. Your hygienist will gently remove these deposits using special tools. Afterward, we polish the teeth to eliminate surface stains and leave your smile feeling fresh.
