What is a dental cleaning?
Even with good brushing, plaque hardens into tartar along the gumline. A dental cleaning removes this build-up with special instruments, then polishes your teeth. It's also a chance for your dentist to spot problems like cavities or gum inflammation early, while they're still small.
It may help if you have
- It's been more than 6 months since your last cleaning
- Your gums bleed when you brush
- You can see tartar or stains near the gumline
- You'd like fresher breath
