What can I expect during teeth cleaning?
Keeping your smile healthy involves routine dental cleanings at your trusted dental office. These cleanings are non-invasive and straightforward. First, we’ll inspect your teeth and gums for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other issues. These screenings allow us to catch dental problems at their earliest, most treatable stage.Â
Next, our dental hygienist professionally cleans your teeth, carefully removing surface stains, plaque, and tartar from all mouth surfaces. Then, we polish your teeth to ensure a smooth, fresh-from-the-dentist feeling.
What are the benefits of dental cleanings?
Do you brush and floss your teeth at home? Congratulations! These are the first steps to maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. However, you still need a dentist’s help to clean areas that your home dental tools can’t reach.Â
Here are the benefits of dental cleanings in Airdrie, AB:
- Prevention: Removing plaque and tartar prevents bad breath (halitosis), gum disease, tooth decay, and other issues.Â
- Early detection: We inspect your smile to detect dental problems when it’s easy and cheaper to address them.
- It’s cost-effective: Preventing dental issues with teeth cleanings is much easier than treating them with fillings, crowns, root canals, etc.Â
- A beautiful smile: Cleanings remove surface stains and unsightly tartar to maintain a confident smile.Â
- Optimal systemic health: Keeping your smile healthy with dental cleanings prevents diabetes, heart disease, respiratory infections, and other systemic issues.Â
We recommend dental cleanings every six months. However, since no two smiles are alike, some patients need more frequent cleanings. If you have a history of gum disease, tooth decay, or other issues, we recommend dental cleanings every 3-4 months.Â

How do I maintain my smile at home?
While your dentist plays a significant role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy, you are the owner of your smile. That means much of the maintenance responsibility rests on your daily habits. Between dental visits, the care you give your teeth at home determines how bright, healthy, and confident your smile stays.
- Brush twice daily using fluoride toothpaste, and don’t forget to clean your tongue to keep your breath fresh
- Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth
- Limit sugary or acidic foods that can erode enamel
- Drink plenty of water
- Protect your teeth by wearing a sports mouthguard or a nightguard if you grind your teeth when sleeping
A healthy, beautiful smile means committing to these simple but powerful routines. The better you care for it, the longer it will look and feel its best.
