Why a Professional Dental Cleaning?

A professional dental cleaning is a preventive treatment designed to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that cannot be addressed with at-home brushing and flossing alone. The cleaning process helps reduce your risk of periodontal disease, tooth decay, and gum inflammation, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

While daily home care is essential, professional cleanings offer a more comprehensive level of hygiene that supports your oral health over time.

How Often Should You Get a Professional Teeth Cleaning?

For most individuals, we recommend professional cleanings every 6 months. This schedule helps prevent buildup and supports early detection of dental issues.

However, some patients may benefit from more frequent cleanings, such as individuals who smoke, have a history of gum disease, or are prone to heavy tartar buildup. Our team can create a customized schedule that meets your specific oral health needs.

Why Are Regular Dental Cleanings Important?

Routine dental cleanings are a crucial component of maintaining long-term oral health. Even with daily brushing and flossing, certain areas of the mouth can be difficult to clean thoroughly. Regular cleanings help address buildup and support healthy teeth and gums over time.

Professional dental cleanings can help:

Prevent cavities and tooth decay by removing plaque that weakens enamel
Keep your gums healthy and reduce the risk of gum disease
Remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be addressed with at-home care
Freshen breath by eliminating bacteria and buildup
Support long-term oral health and preserve your natural teeth with age

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning Appointment

Your comfort and care are our priority during every visit. A typical dental cleaning appointment at Kensington Dental Care includes:

Exam & Assessment: A comprehensive check of your teeth and gums to identify any early signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns.
Scaling & Cleaning: Removal of plaque and tartar buildup using precise instruments, especially in areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing.
Polishing & Final Flossing: Surface stains are polished away for a smooth finish, followed by a final floss to ensure a thorough clean between the teeth.
Optional Fluoride Treatment: In some cases, we may recommend fluoride to help strengthen enamel and protect against future cavities.

How to Prepare for Your Dental Cleaning Appointment

Before your visit, we recommend brushing and flossing your teeth to remove any loose food particles. If you are scheduled for a fluoride treatment, our team may provide additional instructions, such as avoiding food or drink for a short period afterward.

If you have any questions prior to your appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact our team.

Aftercare: Maintaining Oral Health at Home

The benefits of a professional cleaning can be extended with good daily habits, including:

Brush at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush
Floss once a day (or more often if recommended by your dentist)
Avoid sugary snacks and drinks between meals
Book regular checkups to monitor your oral health over time
