Teeth Cleaning Exam

During your visit, we may examine your teeth and gums for early signs of dental concerns. This helps our team recommend the right type of cleaning and determine whether any other treatment may be helpful.

What Happens During a Teeth Cleaning?

Teeth cleanings are designed to remove buildup that regular brushing and flossing may miss, especially hardened tartar along the gum line.

Good Home Care Still Matters

Professional cleanings work best when combined with consistent brushing and flossing at home. Together, these habits can help keep your teeth and gums healthier between visits.

Typical Cleaning Steps

1. Flossing and evaluation of buildup between teeth
2. Removal of tartar and plaque
3. Washing, rinsing, and polishing the teeth

Why Tartar Removal Is Important

Tartar is hardened plaque that cannot be removed with simple brushing or flossing. If it is left untreated, it may contribute to bad breath, gum irritation, gingivitis, and more advanced gum disease.

When a Deeper Cleaning May Be Needed

In some cases, a standard cleaning may not be enough. If there are signs of more advanced buildup or gum disease, our team may recommend a deeper periodontal cleaning.
