Professional Cleanings

Gentle removal of plaque and tartar to keep gums and teeth healthy.

A professional cleaning removes the plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing cannot reach on their own. Our hygienist gently clears buildup, polishes your teeth, and leaves your mouth feeling fresh. It keeps your gums healthy and your smile bright.

Your hygienist carefully removes buildup from along the gumline and between teeth, then polishes away surface stains. The visit is thorough but gentle, and you can point out any sensitive spots so we work around them. Dr. Pandya reviews everything as part of your checkup.

Routine cleanings prevent cavities and gum disease, freshen your breath, and keep your teeth looking their best. They also give us a regular chance to catch anything new early. Consistent care now means fewer surprises down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about professional cleanings.

Twice a year suits most people. If you are prone to buildup or gum issues, Dr. Pandya may recommend coming in a little more often.

Cleanings are usually comfortable. If your gums are tender or your teeth are sensitive, tell your hygienist and the visit can be adjusted to keep you at ease.

Brushing and flossing handle daily buildup, but tartar hardens in places you cannot reach and needs professional tools to remove. A cleaning finishes what home care starts.

A routine cleaning usually takes about an hour, including your exam. We never rush you through it.

Yes, please do. Bleeding gums can be an early sign of gum inflammation, and catching it early makes it much easier to reverse.
