A dental cleaning is an important part of maintaining a healthy smile and preventing future oral health issues. During your visit, a dental hygienist carefully removes plaque and tartar buildup from areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing at home. Your teeth are then professionally polished to help smooth the surfaces and lift surface stains, leaving your smile feeling fresh and clean.
After the cleaning, your dentist will typically perform an exam to check for signs of cavities, gum disease, or other concerns that may need attention. Regular cleanings not only help keep your teeth looking their best, but also play a key role in supporting long-term gum health and overall oral wellness.
