Professional dental cleaning (also known as dental prophylaxis or scaling & polishing) is a preventive treatment performed by a dental hygienist or dentist. During this procedure, plaque, tartar, and surface stains are removed, helping to prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.
Preventive dentistry focuses on protecting your teeth and gums before problems arise. With regular cleanings and check-ups, you can avoid:
The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes and leaves your teeth feeling clean and fresh.
No, most patients do not experience pain. Mild sensitivity may occur if tartar is present under the gums, but this is temporary. Local anaesthesia can be used if needed.
Most patients benefit from a cleaning every six months. If you are at higher risk of gum disease or cavities, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
A check-up focuses on examining your teeth and gums for problems. A cleaning is an active treatment to remove plaque and tartar. Ideally, both are combined for complete preventive care.
Dental cleaning removes surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking, giving your teeth a fresher and brighter look. For several shades lighter, we recommend professional teeth whitening.
