Teeth Cleaning
in Calabash, NC
Over time, plaque buildup hardens into tartar, settles along the gumline, and creates an environment where inflammation, cavities, and infection can develop.
Dental cleanings are designed to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, helping stop the progression of oral problems while keeping your smile looking bright.
What Happens During a Teeth Cleaning?
A professional cleaning is thorough, comfortable, and focused on prevention.
First, we carefully examine your teeth and gums. Using specialized dental instruments, we remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line.
Your teeth are then polished to remove surface stains and create a smooth surface that reduces future buildup. In many cases, flossing is also performed to clean between teeth and check for any areas of concern.
If needed, we review the health of your gums and discuss any signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease.
How Often Should You Get a Teeth Cleaning?
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings twice a year. However, if you have a history of periodontal disease, we may recommend cleanings every three to four months to help maintain gum health.
Our dental team will advise you on the schedule that best supports your needs.
