What Are Dental Cleanings?

Professional dental cleanings are preventive treatments designed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains that cannot always be eliminated through brushing and flossing alone.

Even with excellent at-home oral hygiene habits, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas between the teeth and along the gumline. During a professional cleaning, these deposits are carefully removed to help keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Regular cleanings also allow Dr. Chang and his team to monitor your oral health and identify potential concerns before they become more serious.

Benefits of Routine Dental Cleanings

Professional dental cleanings offer several important benefits, including:

What to Expect During Your Appointment

During your dental cleaning, a hygienist will use specialized tools and techniques to gently remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth.

Special attention is given to areas that are difficult to clean at home, including spaces between the teeth and along the gumline where gum disease often begins.

Your hygienist may also identify areas that could benefit from improved brushing or flossing techniques and provide guidance to help you maintain better oral health between visits.

Following your cleaning, dental X-rays may be taken to evaluate areas below the gums and inside the teeth that cannot be seen during a visual examination.

Dental Sealants for Children

Dental sealants help protect the chewing surfaces of teeth from decay-causing bacteria that can lead to cavities.

Sealants are designed to provide long-lasting protection. During your child’s visit, our team can determine whether sealants are still providing adequate coverage or if reapplication may be beneficial.
