Professional Dental Cleaning in Edmonton
Why Professional Dental Cleanings Matter
Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar build up in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Professional cleanings remove these deposits before they lead to cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.
Benefits of routine dental cleanings include:
- Prevention of cavities and tooth decay
- Reduced risk of gum disease and infection
- Fresher breath and a brighter smile
- Early detection of oral health issues
- Lower long-term dental costs
As part of our preventive dentistry in Edmonton, dental cleanings help you avoid more complex treatments down the road.
What’s Included in a Professional Dental Cleaning?
At Strathcona Dental Clinic, your dental cleaning is more than “just a polish.” Each visit is personalized to your needs.
Comprehensive Oral Assessment
Before cleaning begins, we assess your teeth and gums for signs of decay, inflammation, or other concerns.
Plaque & Tartar Removal
Using specialized instruments, our hygienists gently remove hardened tartar and plaque that brushing can’t eliminate.
Deep Cleaning Along the Gumline
We carefully clean below the gumline to reduce inflammation and prevent gum disease.
Polishing & Stain Removal
Your teeth are polished to remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, and everyday habits.
Personalized Oral Health Guidance
We provide tailored advice on brushing, flossing, and preventive care at home.
Gentle, Anxiety-Free Dental Cleanings
If you’ve avoided dental cleanings due to fear, sensitivity, or discomfort, you’re not alone. We specialize in anxiety-free dental care and take extra time to ensure your comfort.
Gentle techniques for sensitive teeth and gums
A calm, supportive environment
Sedation options when appropriate
Compassionate care for nervous patients
Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident at every visit.
How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?
Most patients benefit from a professional dental cleaning every six months. However, some individuals may need more frequent visits, especially if they have:
- Gum disease or inflammation
- A history of cavities
- Dental implants or restorations
- Medical conditions affecting oral health
We’ll recommend the ideal schedule based on your individual needs.
