What Happens During a Teeth Cleaning?

Brushing and flossing your teeth daily keeps them healthy, but professional cleanings can prevent plaque and tartar buildup. Before a teeth cleaning session, your dental hygienist will take a physical examination of your entire mouth to check for things like gingivitis and other concerns.
Next, they will remove any plaque and tartar around the gumline with a scraping tool. (Pro Tip: If this is your least favorite part of the teeth cleaning process, make sure to floss every day!)
Once the tartar is removed, your dental hygienist will use a high-powered electric brush to deep clean your teeth. The toothpaste used has a gritty texture to scrub the teeth.
Next, your dental hygienist will floss your teeth and rinse your mouth. Afterward, you’ll get a fluoride treatment.
