DENTAL CLEANING AND SCALING

What is Dental Cleaning?

Dental cleaning is a preventative procedure done by dentists or dental hygienists to keep your mouth healthy. During a cleaning, the dentist aims to remove plaque and tartar developed on your teeth to prevent cavities and other dental problems. While brushing and flossing at home help, they can’t get rid of all the plaque and tartar, so it’s important to see a dentist for a thorough cleaning.

What Does a Professional Cleaning Include?

During your regular dental cleaning appointment, a certified hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth, focusing on both above and below the gumline. Cleaning below the gumline is vital for reducing the risk of gum disease, as it’s something that at-home care typically can’t achieve. Following the cleaning, your dentist will perform a comprehensive examination to identify any existing or potential issues. They may also recommend a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities. If it’s time for your routine cleaning or if you want to ensure your smile stays healthy, get in touch with us today!

How often should you get a dental cleaning?

Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining the best dental health. According to the American Dental Association, you should schedule deep cleaning and dental checkups twice a year. Still, it is recommended more frequently for individuals with specific oral health issues. If you’re in Toronto, you can trust BK Dental for one-time and scheduled deep teeth cleanings.

Does teeth cleaning remove yellow?

Yes, teeth cleaning can help remove some surface stains and discoloration, including yellowing caused by plaque buildup, tartar, and particular food or drink stains. However, deep intrinsic stains may not be entirely removed by cleaning alone. Professional dental cleanings conducted by a dentist or dental hygienist use scaling to remove plaque and tartar and then polishing to remove surface stains. If you desire whiter teeth, consider opting for professional in-office teeth whitening treatments to fully eradicate yellowing from your teeth.

How much is teeth cleaning in Toronto?

Professional teeth cleaning service cost in Toronto can vary between $150 and $300. However, if you’re paying out-of-pocket, this price may go up. Many dental insurance plans include coverage for yearly preventive visits, which can offset some or all cleaning expenses. It’s advisable to consult your insurer before scheduling your teeth cleaning appointment.

How long do teeth cleaning take?

Teeth cleaning usually takes about 30 minutes, but different situations can change how long it lasts. For example, if you’ve never had a professional cleaning, your dental hygienist might need 45 minutes or more to remove plaque.

Getting rid of tartar between your teeth can take a few hours. If you have gum disease, you need a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing, which could take more than one appointment.

If you take excellent care of your teeth, cleaning them might only take 15 minutes. Basically, how long it takes depends on how complicated the cleaning needs to be.
