Healthy Teeth and Gums
What Is Professional Teeth Cleaning?
Professional teeth cleaning is a dental procedure that removes plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms naturally on tooth surfaces. When plaque hardens into tartar, it generally cannot be removed with a toothbrush alone.
During your visit, the dental professional assesses your oral health and recommends an appropriate cleaning approach based on the condition of your teeth and gums.
Why Consider Dental Cleaning?
How Professional Cleaning Supports Oral Health
Routine professional cleaning can be an important part of your personal dental care plan.
02
Supports Gum Health
Removing plaque and tartar can help manage factors associated with gum inflammation.
03
Helps Manage Plaque
Professional cleaning complements daily brushing and flossing as part of a regular oral hygiene routine.
04
Addresses Surface Deposits
Cleaning can remove certain external deposits and stains, although it is not the same as a professional whitening procedure.
05
Encourages Better Habits
Your dental team can discuss brushing technique, interdental cleaning and daily care suited to your needs.
06
Complements Dental Checkups
Cleaning may be combined with an examination so your dentist can assess your teeth and gums.
Your Appointment
What Happens During a Teeth Cleaning Appointment?
The exact process depends on your oral health and the amount of plaque or tartar present. A typical appointment may include:
- Oral assessment: your dental professional checks your teeth and gums.
- Plaque and tartar removal: deposits are removed using appropriate dental instruments.
- Tooth surface cleaning: the teeth may be polished when suitable.
- Personalised guidance: receive advice on brushing, flossing and maintaining oral hygiene.
- Further recommendations: your dentist explains whether any additional care is needed.
If you have gum disease or substantial deposits below the gumline, a more involved periodontal cleaning may be needed. Your dentist can explain the appropriate option after an assessment.
Know When to Seek Advice
When Might You Need Professional Teeth Cleaning?
Your dentist can recommend cleaning intervals based on your gum health, tartar buildup, oral hygiene and individual risk factors. Consider arranging an assessment if you notice:
- Visible deposits around the gumline
- Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum tenderness or swelling
- Difficulty keeping certain areas clean
Bleeding or swollen gums may indicate a dental concern that needs assessment rather than cleaning alone. If you have severe pain or facial swelling, seek urgent dental advice.
Daily Oral Hygiene
How to Maintain Your Teeth Between Visits

02
Clean Between Teeth

03
Attend Dental Reviews
Follow your dentist's recommendations for checkups and cleaning based on your oral health needs.
