Professional Teeth Cleaning
Routine hygiene visits that lift plaque, tartar, and surface stains beyond what brushing can reach, paired with a check on your gum health.
Overview
Routine cleanings are the workhorse of preventive dentistry. Daily brushing and flossing handle most of the work, but plaque hardens into tartar (calculus) in places at-home tools cannot reach — and tartar can only be removed in the chair. The hygiene team at Diamond Dentistry in Wellington, FL keeps that buildup from compounding into decay or gum disease, and Dr. Rowland reviews the findings during the same visit.
What Happens at a Cleaning
Scaling to lift hardened tartar from the tooth surface and the area just under the gumline
Polishing to remove surface stain and leave enamel smooth
Flossing and irrigation between teeth
Periodontal measurements and an oral cancer screening
Coaching on home-care technique tailored to what we see in your mouth
How Often
Most patients do well on a six-month schedule. If you have a history of gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, ongoing orthodontic treatment, implants, or extensive crown and bridge work, a three- or four-month cadence is often the better fit — the hygiene team and Dr. Rowland will recommend a schedule that matches your risk profile.
Why It Matters
Prevents the cavities and periodontal disease that follow chronic tartar
Brightens teeth by removing daily surface stain from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco
Keeps breath fresh by clearing the bacterial colonies that cause odor
Catches subtle changes in gums and teeth between full exams
