Teeth Cleaning
Otherwise known as dental cleaning, teeth cleaning is important to the ongoing maintenance of your oral health. Apart from a brighter smile, it aids in the early detection and prevention of dental problems that can be caught during regular dental check-ups with your dentist and dental hygienist. Our Toronto dental clinic offers walk-in appointments as well as flexible scheduling.

What to expect
Dental Exam
Teeth cleaning is performed by a dental hygienist and begins with a dental examination of your entire mouth. A dentist is called in to evaluate any observed issues and to perform a more detailed evaluation.

Remove Plaque and Tartar
The dental hygienist uses an ultrasonic scaler to remove plaque and tartar around your gums. This is normally the longest step.
Polishing and Flossing
Once clean of major plaque, a special toothpaste is used to scrub and polish your teeth to get them to their natural brightness. A quick round of flossing ensures all debris during the process is removed.
4
Fluoride Treatment
An optional fluoride treatment in the form of mouthwash or gel is administered. Fluoride is a natural found mineral that helps strengthen teeth and prevents cavities from forming.
