Flossing removes plaque between teeth where brushes cannot reach.

Professional teeth cleaning FAQ
Clear answers about comfort, frequency, and what cleaning actually includes.
What is included in a professional cleaning
A typical cleaning includes assessment, scaling to remove plaque and tartar, polishing to smooth surfaces, and personalized home care guidance.
Does teeth cleaning hurt
Most cleanings are comfortable. If you have sensitivity, inflammation, or heavier tartar, we adjust technique and pacing to keep you comfortable.
How often should I get a cleaning
Frequency depends on gum health, tartar buildup, and risk factors. We recommend a schedule after your exam and assessment.
Will cleaning whiten my teeth
Cleaning can remove surface stains and make teeth look brighter, and it does not change natural tooth shade. Whitening is a separate cosmetic treatment.
What is the difference between plaque and tartar
Plaque is a soft film that forms daily. Tartar is hardened plaque that cannot be removed by brushing alone and needs professional scaling.
What if I have gum disease
If gum disease is present, we may recommend a deeper cleaning or a periodontal care plan. An exam is needed to determine the best approach.
