Professional dental cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and stains to help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Even with excellent oral hygiene at home, scheduling a professional dental cleaning at Reflections Dental twice a year can benefit your oral health. Using advanced equipment, our biannual cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, then polish your enamel for a brighter, healthier smile. After your treatment, you can receive tips for home care and learn about any areas that may need extra attention. Professional cleanings also give Dr. Donald Hildebrandt the opportunity to detect potential issues early. Make regular cleanings part of your family’s dental routine at our Peoria, AZ office.
Your cleaning begins with the removal of plaque and tartar, which daily brushing and flossing can’t fully eliminate. Ultrasonic technology is used first to loosen large deposits with a lubricating mist and gentle vibrations. Hand instruments, such as scalers and curettes, then remove any remaining buildup from each tooth. Once your teeth are clean, we polish the enamel to remove stains and strengthen the surface. If needed or requested, a fluoride treatment will be applied after polishing.
Some patients, especially those with periodontal disease, may be advised to have cleanings more frequently. During your visit, Dr. Hildebrandt or a team member will recommend oral care products and demonstrate effective techniques tailored to your needs. Consistent cleanings benefit your teeth, overall health, and long-term dental costs, so keep up with your appointments at Reflections Dental.
The American Dental Association recommends professional cleanings twice a year. Infants should visit the dentist before their first birthday, with future appointments scheduled based on Dr. Hildebrandt’s guidance. Cleanings remove plaque—the main cause of cavities—and help prevent stains and tartar buildup. They also freshen your breath, improve your overall health, and may save you from costly treatments. Schedule cleanings for yourself and your family at Reflections Dental.
No. Most patients do not find cleanings painful, and our team works gently to remove tartar and plaque. Those with sensitive teeth or gum disease may feel mild discomfort, but any post-treatment sensitivity can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Cleanings typically take 30–60 minutes. If additional diagnostics or treatments are needed, your visit may be longer. We aim to work efficiently so you can quickly return to your day.
Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months, but those with health risks such as diabetes or gum disease may need them more often. Dr. Hildebrandt will recommend the best schedule for you.
