What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
Regular dental cleanings are essential for good oral health. During a teeth cleaning, the dentist or dental hygienist removes plaque buildup and harmful bacteria that can cause tooth decay, gum disease, and other issues that affect your smile.
Here is what you can expect from a dental cleaning in our office:
● One of our friendly dental hygienists will ask you a few questions to determine whether you are experiencing any issues or have questions.
● We will perform a physical exam of your mouth to check your teeth and gums for potential problems.
● Using a gentle approach, the hygienist carefully removes hardened plaque from around the gum line and between teeth using dental tools.
● Next, we will use a polishing toothpaste and a specialized electric toothbrush to clean and polish your teeth.
● The hygienist will then floss between the teeth to clean hard-to-reach areas and remove any remaining toothpaste.
● The hygienist will then use a special tool to clean out bacteria from your mouth before applying polish to your teeth.
● After the cleaning, the dentist will examine your mouth and discuss concerns or recommendations for a healthier smile.
Brushing and flossing alone are not enough to completely remove plaque over time. Only a professional dental cleaning can dislodge hard tartar that is detrimental to your oral dental health.

How Often Do I Need a Professional Dental Cleaning?
In general, people should have their teeth cleaned every six months (twice a year) to stay on top of their oral health. However, every patient is different. You may need more frequent dental cleanings if you are prone to tooth decay or gum issues, such as gingivitis.
Additionally, patients who smoke, have poor dental hygiene practices or suffer from certain health conditions may have an increased risk of developing dental issues. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Tati to determine your individual needs and how often you should have a dental cleaning.
What Are the Benefits of Regular Teeth Cleanings?
While some benefits of dental cleanings are obvious, a healthy mouth presents unexpected advantages as well. Here is why you should keep up with routine dental cleanings:
1. Reduces Risk of Cavities and Gum Disease
When plaque and tartar develop on the surface of your teeth, acid and bacteria start to eat away at tooth enamel and irritate your gums. Removing this dangerous buildup during a dental cleaning prevents tooth decay and gum disease before they become serious issues.
2. Brightens Your Smile
Consuming coffee, tea, wine or other heavily pigmented foods and beverages can cause teeth staining that makes your smile appear dull or yellow. A dental cleaning can help remove surface stains and polish your teeth for a brighter, whiter smile. Paired with a teeth whitening treatment, your smile will light up any room!
3. Prevents Bad Breath
Even with regular brushing and flossing, bacteria can hide between teeth and under the gums. These bacteria produce sulfur, which causes bad breath that is hard to get rid of on your own. A professional teeth cleaning removes the hidden bacteria and freshens your breath.
4. Saves Money and Time on Future Dental Care
Keeping your teeth clean and healthy has long-term benefits as well. You can save both time and money by avoiding the need for extensive dental work to repair damage. Without regular dental cleanings, you are more likely to develop tooth decay, periodontal disease, and tooth infections that may require expensive treatments and procedures.
5. Boosts Confidence
If you skip dental cleanings, you may be self-conscious about plaque buildup, discoloration, bad breath, and other oral health issues. When you know your teeth are healthy, you are more likely to feel good about your smile.
6. Improves Overall Health
Several studies have shown there is a clear connection between a person’s oral health and their overall well-being. By prioritizing healthy teeth with preventive care, you may lower your risk of heart disease, some types of cancers, birth complications, respiratory issues, and other conditions.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Teeth Cleanings?
Most dental insurance providers cover routine dental cleanings and other preventative care to help people stay on track with their oral health. However, refer to your policy to confirm what is covered. You can also contact our team to see if we accept your dental insurance or learn more about the cost of different dental services. Even without dental insurance our dental cleaning services are affordable.
