Dental cleanings
A professional cleaning reaches areas your toothbrush can’t and helps keep your gums healthy over time. Even with a consistent home routine, plaque and tartar form in hard-to-reach places. Cleanings remove that buildup and give us a clear view of anything that may need attention.
These visits also create space for questions, practical guidance, and reassurance. When we catch early signs of gum inflammation or cavity-prone areas, care becomes simpler and more predictable.
Why cleanings matter
Buildup left too long can irritate gums, contribute to decay, and lead to deeper infections. Removing it helps prevent issues before they grow and gives your gums the chance to stay healthy. Cleanings also help us notice small changes early, which can make a significant difference over time.
What happens during a cleaning
We begin with a review of your teeth and gums, then gently remove plaque and tartar, smooth the surfaces, and polish for a clean, refreshed feel. Throughout the visit, we point out anything we see and offer simple suggestions that support your home care routine.
If you’re using the Canadian Dental Care Plan, we’ll walk you through what’s covered and help you understand how your benefits apply.
