Dental cleanings are an excellent way to maintain your oral hygiene. Performed by a dental hygienist, regular professional dental cleanings are critical for patients of all ages, from children to seniors. During the cleaning process, our team will effectively remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar buildup, preventing periodontal disease (gum disease) and tooth decay while securing optimal oral health. Our thorough teeth cleanings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile but also contribute significantly to your overall dental well-being.

• Cavity Prevention: During your dental cleaning appointment, plaque and tartar will be removed to help prevent cavities.
• Lower Risk of Gum Disease: Cleaning around the gum line removes bacteria and reduces the risk of gum disease.
• Freshen Breath: Regular cleanings help combat bad breath by removing bacteria, food particles, and build-up from the teeth, tongue, and mouth.
• Tooth Decay Prevention: A comprehensive oral exam and professional cleaning can protect your teeth from decay or intervene if tooth decay has occurred. 
• Oral Cancer Screening: While important for your teeth and gums, your dentist will also inspect your mouth and throat for early signs of oral cancer. 
• Early Detection of Oral Issues: More frequent dental cleanings allow for early detection of problems, ensuring you maintain good oral health and receive treatment for areas of concern.
• Preventative Treatments: Fluoride treatments and other types of preventive care protect tooth enamel, reduce harmful bacteria, prevent cavities, and more.
• Cost Savings: Regular cleanings can save money in the long run by preventing more serious dental issues from occurring.
• Aesthetic Benefits: Professional polishing can give you a brighter, more beautiful smile and improve your confidence. 

The cost of dental cleanings in South Surrey varies per patient. Factors such as your oral health needs, the depth of cleaning required, whether dental X-rays are necessary, and the coverage of your specific insurance plan will affect the cost of your professional dental cleaning.
