Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Professional teeth cleaning is a preventive dental treatment designed to remove these deposits, helping maintain healthy gums, fresh breath, and a cleaner smile.
Routine teeth cleaning plays a vital role in preventing common dental problems such as gum disease, cavities, and bad breath, while also supporting the overall health of your teeth and gums.
Plaque that is not removed regularly can harden into tartar, which cannot be cleaned away with brushing alone. Over time, this buildup may lead to gum inflammation, bleeding, and bone loss if left untreated.
Regular cleanings are essential for both children and adults, regardless of whether you’ve had orthodontic treatment.

Teeth cleaning is a professional dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains from teeth to maintain oral hygiene and prevent gum disease and cavities.
Most people should get their teeth cleaned every 6 months. Some patients with gum problems or heavy plaque buildup may need more frequent cleanings, as advised by their dentist.
Teeth cleaning is generally painless. You may feel mild discomfort or sensitivity, especially if there is significant tartar buildup or gum inflammation, but it is temporary.
A routine teeth cleaning usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar present.
Teeth cleaning removes surface stains and can make teeth look brighter, but it does not change the natural color of teeth. For noticeable whitening, a professional teeth whitening treatment is recommended.
