At Neighbourhood Dental, we believe that maintaining healthy gums and teeth is the key to excellent oral health. That is why we are proud to offer professional dental hygiene and teeth cleaning services to help you keep your smile in top shape. While brushing and flossing at home are essential for good oral health, regular professional cleanings provide a level of thorough care that is hard to match on your own. Routine dental clinic visits are key to removing plaque, tartar and bacteria from hard to reach areas that home care simply cannot reach, helping you achieve a lifetime of strong, healthy teeth and gums!

What to Expect During Your Dental Hygiene Appointment
Neighbourhood Dental is dedicated to helping you maintain optimal oral health and wellness. During your Neighbourhood Dental hygiene appointment, our team begins by reviewing your dental and medical history, addressing any changes or concerns. We then carefully examine your teeth and gums, looking for signs of cavities, gum disease and other potential issues.
After the examination, we perform a professional teeth cleaning. Using specialized tools, our dentist or hygienist will perform scaling and root planing, which is a deep dental cleaning below the GM line, to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gum line. This will help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay from developing. Once your teeth are cleaned, we polish them with a smooth, gritty paste to leave your smile shiny and bright! We can also apply fluoride treatment for added protection.
Before you leave, we will provide personalized tips and techniques to help you maintain a healthy smile between visits, including proper brushing and flossing habits. Regular dental cleanings are an essential part of preventing oral health problems and maintaining a fresh and vibrant smile. At Neighbourhood Dental, we are here to guide and support you every step of the way!
How Often Should You Schedule a Dental Cleaning?
At Neighbourhood Dental, we understand that every patient has their own individual needs. As a result, an ideal cleaning schedule will vary per person. For most patients, we recommend visiting every 6 months for a routine cleaning, although some may benefit from more frequent appointments every 3-4 months, while others may only need to come every 9-12 months. Factors like your home care habits, genetics, susceptibility to cavities, teeth grinding and the alignment of your teeth all play a role in determining the best plan for your oral health.
If you have gum disease, heavy staining or other oral health concerns, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. At Neighbourhood Dental, we will work with you to create a personalized schedule that fits your specific needs and wants, helping you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile for years to come!
Neighbourhood Dental is here to support you and your family’s oral health every step of the way. If you have questions about your dental hygiene or you would like to schedule your next dental cleaning appointment, please call our team at (825) 221-1300 and we will be happy to help.
