Brushing and flossing at home is important—but it’s not enough on its own. Regular professional teeth cleanings at Shifa Dental in Plano, TX are key to maintaining a bright, healthy smile and preventing serious dental problems down the road.
🧼 Why Are Professional Cleanings Important?
Daily brushing only cleans about 60% of your tooth surfaces. A professional cleaning removes hardened plaque (tartar), reaches below the gumline, and catches issues early—before they become major (and costly) problems.
🦷 What Does a Teeth Cleaning Involve?
- Initial Exam
We check your mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral concerns. - Scaling
We gently remove plaque and tartar buildup around teeth and gumlines using special tools. - Polishing
Teeth are polished with a gritty paste to smooth surfaces and remove stains. - Fluoride Treatment (Optional)
Strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities.
⏰ How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?
Most people should have a teeth cleaning every 6 months. If you have gum disease or a history of tartar buildup, we may recommend more frequent cleanings.
💡 Benefits of Regular Teeth Cleanings
✔️ Brighter smile
✔️ Fresher breath
✔️ Lower risk of cavities and gum disease
✔️ Early detection of dental issues
✔️ Improved overall health (linked to lower risk of heart disease and diabetes)
