Often recommended: every 6 months (your dentist may suggest a different schedule).
Helpful when there’s heavier buildup—especially if it’s been years since your last cleaning. Allows us to remove thick tartar so we can properly assess gum health.
Common signs: bleeding gums, visible tartar, persistent bad breath.

Tartar buildup can irritate your gums and make your mouth feel “off.” A professional cleaning helps remove what brushing can’t—so your gums feel healthier and your breath feels fresher.
Many patients do well with cleanings every 6 months. If we see gum inflammation or periodontal concerns, we may recommend a different schedule based on your needs.
Most cleanings are comfortable. If you have sensitive gums or heavier buildup, you may feel mild discomfort—tell us, and we’ll keep things gentle and adjust as needed.
A basic cleaning focuses above the gumline to remove plaque and light tartar. A deep cleaning is used when gum disease is a concern and includes cleaning below the gumline—often in more than one visit.
