Oral hygiene means keeping your teeth, gums, and mouth clean and healthy. Daily brushing and flossing are essential, while professional scaling, polishing, and dental examinations help remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing may miss. Routine preventive care helps reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Schedule a dental hygiene visit if you notice any of these signs or if it is time for your routine dental checkup.
Keep your teeth and gums healthy with professional preventive dental care. Our oral hygiene treatments help remove plaque and tartar, support gum health, and build better daily brushing and flossing habits.
Best for: Tartar buildup and surface stains
Professional cleaning removes hardened tartar and plaque from tooth surfaces and around the gumline. Polishing helps smooth tooth surfaces and remove certain external stains.
Best for: Gum disease and deeper deposits
Scaling and root planing cleans plaque and tartar beneath the gumline and smooths root surfaces. A dentist may recommend this treatment when gum disease requires more than a routine cleaning.
Best for: Cavity prevention and weakened enamel
A professionally applied fluoride varnish helps strengthen tooth enamel and supports the prevention of tooth decay. Your dentist can advise whether it is suitable for your age and dental needs.

However, the right interval depends on your oral health, plaque and tartar buildup, and risk of gum disease. People with gum disease or certain medical conditions, including diabetes, may need more frequent visits as advised by their dentist.
No. Professional scaling is designed to remove hardened plaque, known as tartar, from tooth surfaces and around the gumline. When performed correctly, it does not thin or weaken healthy enamel. You may notice temporary sensitivity after cleaning, particularly if tartar had covered areas near the gums.
Bleeding gums can be a sign of inflammation caused by plaque buildup, although other conditions may also contribute. Brush gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clean between your teeth daily. Arrange a dental assessment if bleeding persists, or sooner if you experience swelling, pain, or other concerning symptoms.
Regular cleaning generally removes plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces above and around the gumline.
Deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, targets deposits below the gumline and smooths root surfaces. It may be recommended when periodontal disease has created deeper gum pockets. Your dentist can determine which treatment is appropriate.
Brush twice daily for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth once a day, and gently clean your tongue. Drink water regularly and keep up with routine dental visits. If bad breath continues despite good oral hygiene, consult your dentist to identify the underlying cause.
