Process
Initial Assessment: A friendly dental hygienist will welcome you to the exam room, review your dental and medical history and talk through any concerns or symptoms you’d like to address.
Professional Cleaning: Your hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar using precision instruments, followed by polishing with a special toothpaste and high-powered brush to lift surface stains. The cleaning finishes with thorough flossing to clear debris from between your teeth.
X-Rays: If needed, we’ll take digital X-rays to detect issues that can’t be seen during a visual exam—such as hidden decay, bone loss or impacted teeth—ensuring a complete picture of your oral health.

Next Steps
Review & Advice: Following your exam, your dentist will go over the results with you, clearly explaining any concerns and offering personalized treatment recommendations. You’ll also receive guidance on oral hygiene habits, diet and other ways to support your dental health between visits.
Schedule Next Visit: Before you head out, we’ll help you schedule your next checkup—usually every six months—and arrange any follow-up appointments if additional care is needed.

What happens during a routine dental cleaning?
During a routine dental cleaning, a hygienist removes plaque and tartar, polishes your teeth to eliminate surface stains and flosses between them. X-rays may be taken if needed, and your dentist will perform an exam to check for any issues like cavities or gum disease.
-
Why are dental cleanings important for health?
Dental cleanings are important because they remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t reach, helping prevent cavities, gum disease and bad breath. Regular cleanings also support early detection of oral health issues and contribute to overall health by reducing inflammation and bacterial spread.
