Three Types of Dental Cleanings — Matched to Your Needs

Everyone’s mouth is different. Here’s the simple breakdown—so you know what to expect.

Basic Cleaning (Prophylaxis)

Great if you’re keeping up with routine care. Removes plaque, light tartar, and surface stains to help prevent cavities and early gum irritation.

Often recommended: every 6 months (your dentist may suggest a different schedule).

Moderate Cleaning (Full Mouth Debridement)

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.

Deep Cleaning (Periodontal Treatment)

Focused care for gum disease concerns. Cleans below the gumline to help reduce inflammation and support gum health. May require multiple visits depending on your condition.

Next steps: we’ll explain options and when a specialist is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings

Quick answers to help you feel confident before your visit.
How often should I get a dental cleaning?

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.

Do dental cleanings hurt?

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.

What’s the difference between a basic and deep cleaning?

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.

Do you accept dental insurance?

Yes—Top Dental accepts most dental insurance plans. If you’re uninsured, ask about payment options.
