Routine Teeth Cleanings in Grosse Pointe, MI

By regularly removing plaque and tartar buildup, professional cleanings help maintain the health and integrity of your teeth and gums. Schedule your teeth cleaning today to achieve an effortless, bright smile.

What’s Included in a Regularly Scheduled Teeth Cleaning?

Oral Exam: Before we begin, we’ll assess your teeth, gums, tongue, and the inside of your cheeks to determine the overall health of your mouth. This will allow us to identify any signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, or other dental issues.
Tartar Removal: Tartar is hardened plaque that builds up on your gums and the surface of your teeth. We’ll remove this infectious bacteria using specialized dental instruments.
Plaque Removal: Food and saliva can live on the surface of your teeth, acting as an invisible, sometimes sticky, film called plaque. This bacteria produces toxins that inflame the gums, causing periodontal disease if left untreated.
Teeth Polishing: Once we’ve removed plaque and tartar, we’ll use a motorized polishing wand to rid your teeth of any additional residue and stains.
Flossing: Plaque can sometimes hide between your teeth, so our dentists include flossing as part of your teeth cleaning. We’ll also be able to spot areas where your gums bleed, an early indication of gum disease.
Fluoride Treatment: We’ll sometimes include a fluoride treatment, often for children and young adults, to strengthen the enamel and protect against cavities.
