Professional Dental Cleanings in Surrey
Preventive care to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Why Regular Hygiene Appointments Matter
Routine dental cleanings help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath by removing plaque and tartar buildup that can’t be reached with at-home brushing and flossing. These visits are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and overall well-being.
Professional cleanings also allow the dental team to monitor oral health, catching potential issues before they require more complex treatment.
What to Expect at a Hygiene Appointment
A dental cleaning includes:
Plaque & Tartar Removal – Using specialized tools to remove buildup from teeth and gums
Polishing – Smoothing the tooth surface to prevent future plaque accumulation
Fluoride Treatment – Strengthening enamel to prevent cavities
Gum Health Check – Evaluating for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease
Personalized Oral Care Advice – Tailored tips to improve at-home brushing and flossing habits
Patients leave their cleaning appointments with a fresher, healthier smile and the tools to maintain it between visits.
How Often Should You Have a Dental Cleaning?
Every six months for most patients
Every three to four months for those with a history of gum disease or other oral health concerns
As needed for specific dental conditions or increased plaque buildup
Regular cleanings are one of the best ways to prevent cavities and gum disease before they start.
