What Are Dental Cleanings?

Even with daily brushing and flossing, some buildup can’t be removed at home. Regular cleanings are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing serious dental problems down the road.
  • Removes Plaque & Tartar – Eliminates hardened deposits that cause cavities and gum inflammation.

  • Polishes Teeth – Smooths tooth surfaces and removes surface stains for a cleaner look.

  • Freshens Breath – Gets rid of odor-causing bacteria and debris.

Teeth cleanings do more than brighten your smile—they support your overall health too.

Why Regular Dental Cleanings Are So Important

Skipping professional cleanings can lead to problems like decay, gingivitis, or bad breath. Staying on schedule helps you stay ahead of small issues before they turn into major ones.
  • Prevents Tooth Decay – Cleanings help stop cavities before they start.

  • Protects Gums – Reduces inflammation and lowers your risk for gum disease.

  • Saves Time & Money – Preventive care is more affordable than restorative procedures.

  • Supports Whole-Body Health – Reduces the risk of oral bacteria impacting heart and systemic health.

Routine cleanings are one of the smartest, simplest things you can do for your smile.

Who Should Get Cleanings Every 6 Months?

Teeth cleanings are for everyone—but especially important for certain people at higher risk for oral issues.
  • Children and adults of all ages

  • Smokers or those with diabetes

  • People with braces, crowns, or dental implants

  • Patients with a history of gum disease or frequent cavities

If it’s been longer than 6 months, it’s time to schedule your next appointment.

Signs You May Be Due for a Cleaning

Your mouth might be giving you subtle clues that it’s time for a professional cleaning.
  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing

  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste

  • Visible tartar or yellowing between teeth

  • Gums that look red, puffy, or feel tender

The sooner we clean things up, the easier it is to avoid bigger problems later on.
