Teeth Cleaning in New Westminster

Routine teeth cleaning is an important part of good oral health. At Queen’s Park Dental, we provide gentle and thorough cleanings to help keep your teeth and gums healthy. We also help your smile look clean and bright.

Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in places that are hard to reach. Over time, this buildup can lead to cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Therefore, professional teeth cleaning is an important part of preventive dental care.

Why Is Teeth Cleaning Important?

Professional cleaning helps prevent many dental problems. For example, plaque can harden into tartar if it is not removed. However, tartar cannot be removed at home. Instead, it must be cleaned by a dental professional. In addition, regular cleanings help your dentist check your oral health and find small problems early.

How Often Should You Get Teeth Cleaning?

Most patients should have their teeth cleaned every six months. However, some people may need more frequent visits. For instance, patients with gum disease or heavy tartar buildup may benefit from extra cleanings during the year.

What Happens During a Cleaning Appointment?

A typical cleaning appointment may include:

• Removal of plaque and tartar buildup
• Polishing to remove surface stains
• Fluoride treatment if needed
• A complete oral examination

As a result, your teeth can feel cleaner and smoother after the visit. Also, regular cleanings support long-term oral health. Furthermore, they may help reduce the need for more serious dental treatment later.
