Dental Cleaning

At J. Dental Care, regular dental cleanings are at the heart of maintaining a healthy, confident smile. Our professional hygiene team uses advanced tools and gentle techniques to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that daily brushing alone can’t reach. These cleanings help prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath—while also allowing our team to monitor your oral health and catch any issues early. We personalize each cleaning based on your needs, ensuring your experience is thorough, comfortable, and refreshing.

Whether you’re due for your six-month visit or it’s been a while since your last cleaning, our friendly dental teams in Lakeshore, Etobicoke, and Erin Mills are here to welcome you without judgment. We focus on education as much as prevention—sharing tips and tools to help you maintain your oral health between visits. At J. Dental Care, a brighter, healthier smile starts with a simple step: professional cleaning from people who care.

Dental Cleaning FAQs

1. Why is professional dental cleaning important?

Professional dental cleanings help remove plaque, tartar, and stains that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. They also help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

2. How often should I get a dental cleaning?

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends getting a professional cleaning every six months. However, some patients with gum disease or other oral health issues may need more frequent cleanings.

3. Does dental cleaning hurt?

For most people, dental cleanings are painless. However, if you have sensitive teeth or gum inflammation, you may feel slight discomfort. Our dental team ensures a gentle and comfortable experience.

4. What happens during a dental cleaning?

A typical dental cleaning includes:
Plaque and tartar removal using special tools
Deep cleaning and polishing for a bright, smooth finish
Fluoride treatment (if needed) to strengthen enamel
Gum health check to detect signs of gum disease

5. Will my dental insurance cover cleanings?

Most dental insurance plans cover two cleanings per year as part of preventive care. Our team can help verify your coverage and benefits.

6. Can a dental cleaning whiten my teeth?

Dental cleanings remove surface stains, making your teeth look cleaner and brighter. However, for deeper stains, you may need professional teeth whitening.

7. What if I haven’t had a cleaning in a long time?

If it’s been a while since your last cleaning, don’t worry! Our team is here to help. You may need a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) if there’s a buildup of plaque and tartar below the gumline.

8. What should I do after a dental cleaning?

After a cleaning, avoid eating or drinking staining foods and drinks (like coffee or wine) for a few hours. Continue brushing twice a day, flossing, and using mouthwash to maintain your oral health.

9. Can I get a cleaning if I have braces or dental implants?

Yes! Regular cleanings are even more important if you have braces or implants, as plaque can build up around brackets and restorations. Our team uses special tools to clean around them effectively.

10. How do I book a dental cleaning appointment?

Booking is easy! Call us, visit our website, or drop by any of our three convenient locations in Lakeshore, Etobicoke, or Erin Mills to schedule your cleaning.
