Professional Plaque and Tartar Removal

Visiting the dentist regularly for routine cleaning is extremely important in maintaining a healthy smile. Our skilled dental hygienists remove the plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth both above and below the gums.

Polishing and Flossing

Following removal of all buildup, the hygienist will polish your teeth using a special toothpaste and a high-powered brush to remove stains and create a smooth surface that plaque will have a hard time attaching to. Finally, they will floss between all of your teeth to ensure all plaque and debris are removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to regularly have my teeth cleaned? 

Even the best home care with brushing and flossing can’t remove all of the plaque and calculus that forms underneath our gums. Our registered dental hygienists have the skills and equipment to gently remove the plaque and tartar that builds under the gums. If not removed, this plaque and tartar can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease if not properly removed. 

What else can I expect at my cleaning appointment? 

In addition to cleaning your teeth, our experienced team will also review your medical history, perform an oral cancer screening, educate you on proper oral hygiene, take appropriate x-rays as needed, and perform an exam of your teeth and tissues.
