Teeth Cleaning

Overview

A professional dental cleaning (scale and polish) removes hardened plaque (tartar) and surface staining that everyday brushing cannot reach. It is a cornerstone of prevention, helping to keep gums healthy and catch issues early.

Regular cleaning also gives your dentist a chance to review your oral health and offer tailored home-care guidance.
