Regular & Deep Cleanings

Clearwater Dreams Dental

The First Line of Defense for Your Oral Health

Professional cleanings are the cornerstone of preventive dentistry. While daily brushing and flossing are essential, they cannot remove hardened tartar or reach deep below the gum line.

At Clearwater Dreams Dental, we customize your hygiene plan based on your gum health. Whether you need a routine six-month polish or a therapeutic deep cleaning to treat gum disease, our gentle hygienists ensure your smile stays healthy, fresh, and plaque-free.

Did you know? Even with perfect daily brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar (calculus) in just 24 to 48 hours. Once formed, it can only be removed by a dental professional. Regular cleanings are the only way to break this cycle and prevent gum disease.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?

A regular cleaning is preventative and focuses on teeth above the gum line. A deep cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing) is a medical treatment for gum disease that cleans below the gum line to remove bacteria and tartar from the tooth roots.

Does a deep cleaning hurt?

We prioritize your comfort. Deep cleanings are typically performed under local anesthesia so you won't feel pain during the procedure. You might experience slight sensitivity afterward, which usually subsides quickly.

How often should I get my teeth cleaned?

For most patients with healthy gums, every 6 months is standard. However, if you have a history of gum disease, we may recommend visiting us every 3 to 4 months for periodontal maintenance.

Why do my gums bleed when I brush?

Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gingivitis (inflammation). It means bacteria are irritating the gum tissue. A professional cleaning and improved home care can usually reverse this condition.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, when performed by a dental professional, teeth whitening is safe and effective with long-lasting results.
