Teeth cleaning and polishing are key components of routine dental care that help maintain oral hygiene, prevent tooth decay, and ensure a radiant smile. During a professional cleaning, a dentist or dental hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and stains from the surface of the teeth using specialized tools. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth, and if not removed, it can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. Polishing follows the cleaning process, where the teeth are buffed to a smooth, shiny finish, helping to reduce the buildup of plaque and stains in the future. This step also leaves the teeth feeling fresh and smooth, enhancing overall oral appearance. Regular teeth cleaning and polishing not only improve the look of your teeth but also contribute to better gum health, reduce the risk of cavities, and help prevent bad breath. Typically recommended every six months, these treatments are vital in maintaining long-term oral health and promoting a confident, sparkling smile.

While teeth cleaning and polishing remove surface stains, they don’t change the natural color of your teeth. For more significant whitening, you may need a professional teeth whitening treatment.
