Even perfect brushing leaves plaque behind in spots a toothbrush physically cannot reach, and once plaque hardens into tartar, no amount of home care removes it. That is what professional cleanings are for, and ours are known around Kamloops for being thorough without being rough.
What Happens During Your Cleaning
- Assessment. Your hygienist examines your gums, measuring pocket depths to track gum health over time.
- Scaling. Tartar is removed above and below the gumline using ultrasonic and hand instruments, gently.
- Polishing. Surface stains from coffee, tea, and wine are polished away, leaving teeth smooth and noticeably brighter.
- Fluoride (as indicated). A professional-strength fluoride application strengthens enamel against decay.
- Coaching. Practical, judgment-free tips tailored to what we actually saw in your mouth.
Why Regular Cleanings Pay for Themselves
Cleanings prevent gum disease, the leading cause of adult tooth loss, and catch decay while a small filling still solves it. Research also continues to link gum health to heart health, diabetes control, and more. Few health investments return more per dollar.
