PROFESSIONAL TEETH CLEANINGS
Professional Dental Cleanings in Mississauga
Your daily brushing and flossing are essential, but professional cleanings remove buildup that home care can’t reach. At St. Lawrence Dentistry in Mississauga, our dental hygienists perform thorough cleanings that go beyond surface stains. Regular professional cleanings prevent decay, gum disease, and help you maintain a healthy smile for life.
Why Professional Cleanings Matter
Plaque hardens into tartar, which only professional tools can remove. This buildup leads to cavities and gum disease. Regular cleanings stop these problems before they start, keeping your teeth and gums strong.

What Happens During Your Cleaning
Our hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar from above and below your gum line using ultrasonic and manual instruments. A fluoride polish finishes your cleaning, strengthening your enamel against decay.
Tailored to Your Needs
Whether you have sensitive gums or heavy plaque buildup, we customize each cleaning. Our team works gently to keep you comfortable throughout.
Prevention Saves You Money
Catching problems early through regular cleanings costs far less than treating advanced decay or gum disease. We recommend cleanings every six months for optimal oral health.
FAQS
Frequently asked questions
How often should I get professional cleanings?
We recommend every six months for most patients. Those with gum disease or heavy plaque buildup may benefit from more frequent visits.
Does a professional cleaning hurt?
No. If you have sensitive teeth, let us know and we’ll use extra care. Numbing is available if needed.
What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
Regular cleanings clean above the gum line. Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) treat gum disease by cleaning below the gum line.
How long does a cleaning take?
A standard cleaning takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of buildup.
Can I get a cleaning if I have gum disease?
Yes. In fact, regular cleanings are part of managing gum disease. We may recommend more frequent visits.
Will my teeth be whiter after a cleaning?
Cleanings remove surface stains, but for dramatic whitening, ask about our teeth whitening services.
