At Dr. Thuy Nguyen Dental, we offer comprehensive Teeth Cleaning services to help you maintain optimal oral health. Our experienced dental hygienists provide thorough cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy and vibrant.

Why Regular Teeth Cleanings Matter?

Detecting early signs of oral health issues.

We recommend scheduling cleanings every six to twelve months, depending on your individual needs.

What to Expect During Your Teeth Cleaning Appointment

Your appointment will begin with a review of your medical history to ensure personalized care. Our skilled hygienists will then perform a detailed cleaning, which may include:

Scaling

Scaling is the first crucial step in a professional teeth cleaning. Our dental hygienist carefully removes plaque — a sticky film of bacteria — and hardened tartar (also called calculus) that builds up on your teeth, especially near the gum line. Tartar cannot be removed by regular brushing at home, so scaling helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay by keeping your teeth clean and healthy.

Flossing

Flossing is an essential part of teeth cleaning that reaches areas your toothbrush can’t — especially between your teeth and below the gum line. Our hygienists carefully floss each gap to remove trapped food particles and plaque, helping prevent cavities and gum inflammation. Regular flossing at home complements professional cleanings for the best oral health.

Polishing

After scaling, polishing smooths the surface of your teeth using a special paste and a rotating brush or rubber cup. This step removes surface stains and tiny plaque particles left behind. Polishing not only leaves your teeth feeling fresh and smooth but also helps prevent new plaque from sticking to rough spots, reducing the risk of future buildup.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatment is often applied after cleaning to strengthen your tooth enamel — the hard, protective outer layer. Fluoride makes your teeth more resistant to acids and bacteria that cause cavities. This treatment can come in a gel, foam, or varnish form, and helps protect your smile between dental visits, especially if you are prone to decay.
