Professional Teeth Cleaning

Brighter Smiles and Healthier Gums

Professional teeth cleaning offers a range of invaluable benefits for your oral health and overall well-being. Beyond the immediate refreshment of a sparkling smile, it effectively removes stubborn plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss. This proactive approach significantly lowers the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, promoting healthier gums and stronger teeth. Moreover, professional teeth cleaning often includes a thorough examination, allowing early detection of potential issues and ensuring a preventive path towards maintaining your dental hygiene, enhancing your confidence, and preserving your radiant smile.

FAQS About Professional Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleaning, also known as dental prophylaxis, is a preventive dental procedure performed by a dental hygienist or dentist to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth.
Professional teeth cleaning is essential for maintaining good oral health. It helps prevent gum disease, cavities, bad breath, and other dental problems by removing buildup that cannot be eliminated with regular brushing and flossing.
The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends getting professional teeth cleaning at least twice a year. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings based on your individual oral health needs.
Yes, it can be. Dental hygienists use specialised tools to gently remove plaque and tartar without causing discomfort. Some patients may experience slight sensitivity, but it is temporary.

The duration of a teeth cleaning appointment varies, but it typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour. The time needed depends on the amount of plaque and tartar buildup and the overall oral health of the patient.
There are generally no significant side effects of professional teeth cleaning. Some patients may experience increased tooth sensitivity, but this should subside after a couple days to a week. Your gums should not bleed as much – Ideally they should not bleed at all.
Yes, children and teenagers can benefit from professional teeth cleaning. Regular cleanings help establish good oral hygiene habits and prevent dental issues as they grow older.
Professional teeth cleaning can remove many surface stains caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, and other staining substances. However, intrinsic stains (internal discoloration) may require teeth whitening for more effective removal.
Yes, most dental insurance plans cover professional teeth cleaning as part of preventive care. Typically, two cleanings per year are included in dental insurance coverage. However, it’s essential to verify coverage with your insurance provider.
