Dental Cleaning in Thornhill
Looking for dental cleaning in Thornhill? Our clinic offers gentle, thorough cleanings that help you maintain a bright, healthy smile. Regular professional cleanings are essential to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that brushing and flossing can’t reach.
By staying on top of preventive care, you can avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and costly treatments in the future. Our team is here to support your oral health at every stage.
What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
During your dental cleaning in Thornhill, our experienced hygienists will:
- Examine your gums, teeth, and soft tissues for signs of disease
- Gently remove plaque and hardened tartar (calculus)
- Measure gum health and check for signs of gum disease
- Offer tips to improve your at-home oral hygiene routine
Our hygienists work closely with the dentist to tailor your care and help you maintain your oral health between visits.
Why Get Regular Cleanings?
Even with good brushing, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Cleanings every six months help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Plaque vs. Tartar
Plaque is soft buildup you can brush off. Tartar is hardened plaque that only a dentist can remove. Cleanings keep both under control.
