Why You Need a Professional Teeth Cleaning
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth every day. When it is not removed, it hardens into tartar, which brushing and flossing cannot take off. Tartar along the gumline irritates the gums and can lead to gum disease and, over time, loose teeth.
During a cleaning, your hygienist carefully removes plaque and tartar above and below the gumline with hand instruments or an ultrasonic scaler, then polishes your teeth to remove surface stains from coffee, tea and red wine.
Cleanings are usually done together with a dental check-up, so your dentist can look for cavities, gum problems and other issues while your teeth are at their cleanest.

Regular Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning
If your gums show signs of gum disease, such as deep pockets, bleeding or bone loss on X-rays, a regular cleaning may not be enough:
Regular cleaning
For healthy gums. Removes plaque and tartar above and slightly below the gumline.
Deep cleaning
Also called scaling and root planing. Cleans deeper below the gumline and smooths root surfaces so gums can heal.
Maintenance visits
After a deep cleaning, more frequent cleanings help keep gum disease under control.
