What happens during your cleaning

Hygienist and patient at Promenade Village Dental

Our hygienists check your mouth at every visit. Here's what to expect from a typical appointment:

Step 1: Examine your mouth
We check your gums and teeth for any signs of problems before we begin cleaning.

Step 2: Remove plaque & tartar
We gently scale your teeth to remove buildup and prevent gum disease.

Step 3: Polish your teeth
We smooth your tooth surfaces and remove any remaining deposits for a clean, fresh finish.

Step 4: Apply fluoride
We finish with a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and protect against decay.

Our hygienists get to know you over time and work alongside our dentists to build a long-term care plan that's right for you.

Why professional cleanings matter

Even if you brush and floss well, plaque builds up in hard-to-reach spots. Left untreated, this causes cavities, gum disease, pain, and eventually tooth loss. Routine cleanings are the simplest way to prevent all of that.

What are plaque and tartar?

Plaque is a sticky film that forms on your teeth every day. Bacteria in plaque produce acids that erode enamel and irritate your gums — eventually leading to gingivitis and gum disease if left unchecked.

When plaque isn't removed, it hardens into tartar (also called calculus). A toothbrush can't remove tartar — only a dental professional can. Brushing twice daily, flossing once, and seeing us regularly keeps both under control.

Teeth cleaning cost in Thornhill

The cost of your cleaning depends on your oral health and how much tartar has accumulated. We always give you clear pricing and walk you through your options before we begin — no surprises.
