Teeth Cleaning at Every Smile Dentistry – Gentle, Effective Care for a Brighter Smile
At Every Smile Dentistry, we understand that many people may feel anxious about teeth cleanings.
The unusual sounds, sensations, and jaw discomfort can cause concern. However, teeth cleaning is typically quick, painless, and one of the most important steps you can take to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
Regular teeth cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.
With our experienced team, we’ll ensure that your cleaning experience is as comfortable and effective as possible.
Why Teeth Cleaning is Essential
Teeth cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a routine dental procedure that removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and gum line.
Plaque is a sticky film that forms on your teeth due to food particles and bacteria. If not removed, plaque can harden into tartar, leading to:
- Gum disease
- Tooth decay
- Bad breath
- Tooth loss
Teeth cleaning helps prevent these issues, keeps your mouth fresh, and brightens your smile.

Preparation for Your Teeth Cleaning Appointment
Getting ready for a teeth cleaning appointment is simple. Here are a few steps to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience:
- Schedule Regular Cleanings: We recommend having your teeth cleaned every six months. Contact us to book your appointment.
- Brush and Floss: Before your appointment, brush and floss your teeth to remove surface debris, making the cleaning process more efficient.
- Avoid Eating Right Before: Try not to eat right before your appointment, as it may cause discomfort during the cleaning.
- Bring Dental Records: If you’re a new patient, bring your dental records, including X-rays and information on any previous dental work.
- Discuss Any Concerns: If you have any anxiety or questions about the process, feel free to discuss them with our team. We’re here to ensure your comfort.
- Wear Comfortable Clothes: Choose comfortable clothing to help you relax during your visit.
- Arrive Early: Arrive a little early to complete any paperwork and give yourself time to settle in.
The Teeth Cleaning Procedure
Here’s what you can expect during your teeth cleaning appointment:
- Oral Exam: Our dentist or hygienist will perform an initial examination of your mouth to check for any signs of oral health issues, such as cavities or gum disease.
- Scaling: Using specialized tools, we will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and below the gum line. This process may involve scraping, but it should not be painful.
- Polishing: Once the scaling is complete, we will polish your teeth using a gritty toothpaste and a high-powered brush to remove surface stains and give your teeth a smooth finish.
- Flossing: Next, we will floss between your teeth to remove any remaining debris and ensure your gum line is clean.
- Fluoride Treatment (Optional): Depending on your needs, a fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen your teeth and protect them from cavities.
Discomfort during the procedure is usually minimal. However, if you experience sensitivity or anxiety, we offer topical numbing agents and relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or music, to help you feel at ease.
Benefits of Regular Teeth Cleaning
Teeth cleanings offer numerous health and cosmetic benefits:
Prevention of Gum Disease
Regular cleaning helps remove plaque and tartar that can cause gum inflammation, which may lead to gingivitis and periodontitis if left untreated.
Prevention of Tooth Decay
By removing bacteria, cleanings help prevent cavities, keeping your teeth healthy and strong.
Improved Oral Hygiene
Cleanings help eliminate food particles and bacteria, reducing the risk of bad breath and other oral health problems.
Early Detection of Oral Health Issues
During your cleaning, we can detect early signs of dental problems such as cavities or oral cancer, allowing for prompt treatment.
Cost Savings
Routine cleanings can help prevent more serious dental problems that require costly treatments such as root canals or tooth extractions.
A Brighter Smile
Teeth cleanings remove surface stains from your teeth, giving you a whiter, brighter smile.
Aftercare Tips for Maintaining Your Clean Smile
To keep your teeth looking and feeling great after your cleaning, follow these simple aftercare tips:
- Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after your appointment to allow fluoride treatments to fully absorb.
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss at least once a day to maintain your oral hygiene.
- Use mouthwash to kill bacteria and freshen your breath.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to help rinse away food particles and bacteria.
- Avoid smoking and limit consumption of foods or drinks that stain teeth, such as coffee or red wine.
- Schedule regular checkups every six months to catch any dental issues early and maintain optimal oral health.
If you experience any discomfort or sensitivity after your cleaning, contact our office for guidance.

EXCELLENT Based on 86 reviews oyisile njisane2024-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Every Smile Dentistry for the first time today and I am pleased with the service I received. The receptions was very warm and welcoming. I was attended to by Dr A Somtunzi who was also so friendly and welcoming. I had my teeth cleaned and a filling done. She gave a detailed explanation of what needed to be done. She was so gentle and I felt no discomfort at all. I’m happy with the work she did.
