Why professional cleaning?
Even with careful brushing, plaque hardens into tartar in places that are hard to reach. Tartar irritates the gums, causing bleeding, bad breath and — over time — gum disease that can loosen teeth. A professional cleaning removes it safely.
What happens during the visit
- Check-up — your dentist examines your teeth and gums.
- Scaling — tartar is removed above and just below the gum line with ultrasonic and hand instruments.
- Polishing — surface stains are polished away, leaving teeth smooth and clean.
- Advice — personalised tips on brushing, flossing and products for your mouth.
How often?
For most people every six months is ideal. If you have gum disease, wear braces, smoke or have diabetes, your dentist may recommend a cleaning every three to four months.
Is it uncomfortable?
Most patients feel only light vibration and water spray. If your gums are sensitive, let us know — we can adjust the instruments or use a numbing gel.
