Who Should Get a Dental Cleaning?
Teeth cleaning is beneficial for everyone, but certain individuals may need more frequent care, including:
🔹 People prone to plaque buildup – Some individuals naturally accumulate more plaque, requiring regular cleanings to maintain oral health.
🔹 Patients with gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) – Professional cleanings help manage and prevent gum infections.
🔹 Individuals with braces or dental work – Braces, crowns, and bridges create spaces where plaque can accumulate, making cleanings essential.
🔹 Smokers and coffee/tea drinkers – Tobacco and certain drinks cause stains that can only be removed professionally.
🔹 People experiencing bad breath – Persistent halitosis is often caused by bacteria buildup that regular cleanings can help eliminate.
What Happens During a Professional Teeth Cleaning?
Our Gentle Dental Clinic experts follow a detailed cleaning process to ensure your teeth are in their best condition. Here’s what you can expect:
🦷 Examination & Plaque Detection – Before starting, our dental team inspects your teeth and gums for signs of cavities, gum disease, or plaque buildup.
🦷 Scaling (Plaque & Tartar Removal) – Using specialized tools, we carefully remove hardened tartar deposits that cannot be eliminated by brushing or flossing alone.
🦷 Deep Cleaning & Gum Care – We target gumline bacteria, preventing infections and reducing inflammation for improved gum health.
🦷 Polishing for a Smooth, Bright Finish – A high-powered polishing tool removes surface stains, giving your teeth a cleaner, shinier appearance.
🦷 Fluoride Treatment for Extra Protection (Optional) – A fluoride application strengthens your enamel and helps prevent cavities for months.
🦷 Oral Hygiene Guidance – Our experts provide personalized tips on the best brushing and flossing techniques to maintain a cleaner smile between visits.
Each step is designed to enhance your oral health, leaving you with fresh breath, stronger teeth, and a confident smile.
How Often Should You Get a Teeth Cleaning?
For most patients, dental professionals recommend a cleaning every six months to prevent plaque buildup and maintain overall oral health. However, some individuals may need more frequent visits based on their condition:
🟢 Every 3–4 Months – If you have gum disease, excessive plaque buildup, or a history of dental issues, more frequent cleanings may be needed.
🟢 Every 6 Months – Most individuals with good oral health should visit their dentist twice a year for routine cleanings.
🟢 Annually – Those with excellent oral hygiene and minimal plaque buildup may require only one professional cleaning per year.
Our team at Gentle Dental Clinic will assess your oral health and recommend the best schedule to keep your teeth healthy and strong.

A small investment in teeth cleaning now can prevent costly dental treatments in the future.
Why Professional Teeth Cleaning is Necessary
Even with excellent oral hygiene, food particles and bacteria accumulate over time, forming a sticky film called plaque. If plaque isn’t removed, it hardens into tartar, which can lead to:
✔ Cavities and tooth decay
✔ Gum disease and inflammation
✔ Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
✔ Tooth discoloration and staining
✔ Infections that may require costly treatments
Professional cleanings at Gentle Dental Clinic eliminate plaque and tartar from areas your toothbrush can’t reach, preventing serious dental issues before they start.
