Dental Cleaning at Countryside Dental Clinic
At Countryside Dental Clinic, our dental cleaning service is designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy, fresh and strong. Even with good home care—brushing and flossing—plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. A professional dental cleaning tackles those areas, preventing potential problems and helping you maintain a bright, confident smile.

Why Is It Important?
Regular professional cleanings do more than just make your teeth shine. They help:
- Remove plaque and hardened tartar deposits that can’t be removed by brushing alone.
- Prevent gum inflammation (gingivitis) and more advanced gum disease (periodontitis).
- Spot early signs of cavities, cracked teeth, or other issues before they become major problems.
- Help maintain fresh breath and a clean mouth feel.
- Protect your overall health—because research links oral health to broader health conditions like heart disease, diabetes and more.
Our Dental Cleaning Process
When you choose Countryside Dental Clinic for your dental cleaning, here’s what to expect:
- Initial Assessment & Examination
We’ll begin with a brief exam of your teeth and gums, check for any visible issues like plaque, tartar buildup or early signs of gum disease, and review your cleaning history and hygiene habits. - Scaling (Plaque & Tartar Removal)
Using ultrasonic or hand instruments, we remove the sticky plaque and hard tartar deposits from above and below the gum line. This step is key for gum health and preventing bone loss. - Polishing & Stain Removal
Once cleaning is complete, we polish your teeth to smooth the surfaces and remove visible stains, giving your smile a clean, bright appearance. - Flossing, Rinsing & Fluoride Treatment (optional)
We’ll floss between your teeth, rinse your mouth thoroughly, and in many cases apply a fluoride gel or varnish to strengthen enamel and protect your teeth. - Health Advice & Follow-Up Plan
We’ll give you tailored advice on brushing, flossing, diet and habits. We’ll also recommend how often you should return for cleanings based on your individual oral health.
Who Benefits from Cleaning Dental Cleaning?
This service is valuable for nearly everyone, but especially if you:
- Haven’t had a professional cleaning in a while.
- Notice buildup, stained or rough teeth, bad breath or red/swollen gums.
- Have a history of gum problems, weak enamel or cavities.
- Use tobacco, drink lots of dark beverages (coffee, tea, soda) or have braces/appliances.
- Want to maintain a strong foundation of oral health rather than waiting for problems to appear.
How Often Should You Have It?
The ideal frequency depends on your oral health status:
- For most patients, every 6 months is standard.
- If you’ve had gum disease, heavy tartar buildup or risk factors such as smoking or diabetes, your dentist may recommend cleanings every 3 – 4 months.
We’ll work with you to determine the schedule that keeps your teeth and gums at their best.
Tips to Get the Most from Your Cleaning
- Come on time and avoid eating right before the appointment if possible.
- Let us know of any sensitivity, pain, or medication changes since your last visit.
- Bring a list of your current oral-care products and habits so we can tailor advice (toothbrush type, floss method, etc.).
- After your cleaning, avoid staining foods (like dark tea/coffee) for a few hours for maximum benefit.
- Maintain your daily routine of brushing (twice a day) and flossing (once a day) between visits.
