Your oral health plays a significant role in maintaining your overall health.

Bad Breath? Preventive Cleaning Can Help!
Improper dental hygiene often results in food particles remaining in the mouth. This can form plaque-filled pockets between your gums and teeth – known as periodontal disease. This is the main cause of bad breath. Without professional teeth cleaning, the bacteria buildup underneath the gums is hard to remove.
Timely diagnosis with regular checkups and preventive cleaning not only restores your fresh breath but also improves your otherwise compromised dental function. If you suffer from bad breath or a consistent bad taste in your mouth, visit our clinic. Our preventive teeth cleaning solutions are available to old and new patients in and around London, Ontario.
Our Teeth Cleaning Services
We offer two primary teeth cleaning services:
Routine Teeth Cleaning
Just as the name suggests, this type of cleaning is recommended every 6 months. It includes:
-
Oral Examination: Our dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and oral cavity to identify any potential problems.
-
Scaling: Using specialized tools, we remove plaque and tartar buildup.
-
Polishing: Here we polish your teeth to remove stains and leave them smooth. It makes teeth good looking and prevents future plaque buildup.
-
Flossing: We floss your teeth to remove food particles stuck between teeth.
-
Patient Education: Our dental hygienist will provide personalized oral hygiene instructions and answer any questions you may have.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)
This is a more intensive procedure for patients with gum disease or significant tartar buildup. It involves:
Everything that is included in a routine cleaning.
-
Scaling below the gum line: We use specialized tools to access and remove plaque and tartar deposits deep below the gum line (pockets).
-
Root planing: We smooth rough surfaces on the tooth roots here. This is done to promote gum reattachment and healing.
The Teeth Cleaning Procedure
-
Consultation and Oral Examination
We'll discuss your dental history and concerns, followed by a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and oral cavity.
-
X-rays (if necessary)
The dentist may go for an X-ray for a detailed evaluation. This also depends on your dental history.
-
Scaling
Using ultrasonic scalers or manual tools, we gently plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and below the gum line.
-
Root Planing (for deep cleaning)
Root planing is done in this step to smooth the rough surfaces of the tooth roots.
-
Flossing
Flossing is a major part of teeth cleaning. Here, your teeth are flossed to remove any lingering food particles or plaque.
-
Polishing
A professional polishing removes stains and leaves your teeth smooth, making it harder for plaque to adhere in the future.
-
Fluoride Treatment (optional)
A topical fluoride treatment can strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities.
-
Post-Cleaning Care Instructions
Our dental hygienist will provide personalized instructions on maintaining good oral hygiene at home.
Frequency of Teeth Cleaning
A lot of factors define the time intervals between your regular dental visits. The frequency depends on your unique oral health situation. Generally speaking, most folks benefit from scheduling routine cleanings every 6 months.
However, some patients require more frequent attention. If you have gum disease or other risk factors, we will recommend a personalized cleaning schedule to keep your smile healthy.
Protect Yourself From Gum Diseases
Preventive teeth cleaning goes hand in hand with regular brushing and flossing. When the sticky film of plaque hardens to form tartar, it can cause gum diseases, leading to limited dental function, tooth decay, and, in some cases, complete loss of teeth. With our teeth cleaning service, we can remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and completely eliminate the hard-to-reach residue, protecting your teeth from periodontal disease.
At Cosmo Dental Centre, we have helped several patients with teeth cleaning and other dental services in and around London, Ontario. Contact us to discuss your dental needs.
