Dental Cleanings

In-office cleanings are an essential part of maintaining good oral hygiene. When plaque hardens into tartar, or calculus, it can no longer be removed with daily brushing at home. During a professional cleaning at Pristine Family Dentistry, your dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially in areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush. The cleaning process takes between 30 minutes and an hour. It will be performed during your regular oral exam. It is recommended that you receive a professional oral cleaning every six months in order to remove plaque build-up and prevent infection.
