Why Are Professional Teeth Cleanings So Important?
Regular professional teeth cleanings are a cornerstone of preventive dental care and crucial for maintaining overall oral health, going beyond what daily brushing and flossing can achieve alone. Here’s why they matter:
- Plaque & Tartar Removal: While brushing and flossing remove plaque (a sticky film of bacteria), hardened plaque (tartar or calculus) can only be removed with specialized dental instruments. Tartar buildup harbors bacteria that lead to decay and gum disease.
- Gum Disease Prevention: Tartar buildup at and below the gum line irritates gum tissues, leading to gingivitis (early gum disease) and potentially progressing to more severe periodontitis, which can cause tooth loss. Regular cleanings remove this irritant.
- Cavity Prevention: Removing plaque and tartar significantly reduces the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Cleanings also allow our team to polish away surface stains and identify early signs of cavities.
- Early Detection of Dental Issues: During your cleaning appointment, our hygienist and Dr. Ravanbakhsh also perform a visual examination, checking for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, damaged fillings, and other potential problems when they are easiest to treat.
- Fresher Breath: Removing trapped food particles, plaque, and bacteria helps combat persistent bad breath (halitosis).
Maintaining Overall Health: Poor oral health, particularly gum disease, has been linked to systemic health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Keeping your mouth healthy contributes to your overall well-being.
What to Expect During Your Teeth Cleaning Appointment
Your professional dental cleaning appointment at Calgary Dental Studio is designed to be thorough yet comfortable:
- Review & Examination: We’ll briefly review your medical history and ask about any concerns. The hygienist or Dr. Ravanbakhsh will perform an initial visual examination of your teeth and gums.
- Scaling (Removing Tartar): Using specialized hand instruments (scalers) and potentially ultrasonic scalers, the hygienist carefully removes plaque and tartar buildup from all tooth surfaces, including between teeth and below the gum line.
- Polishing: After scaling, your teeth are polished using a slow-speed handpiece and gritty paste (prophy paste). This removes remaining surface stains and leaves your teeth feeling smooth and shiny.
- Flossing: The hygienist will expertly floss between your teeth, ensuring all surfaces are clean and checking for any areas where you might need to focus your home care.
- Rinsing: You’ll rinse your mouth to remove any residual debris or paste.
- Fluoride Treatment (Optional/Recommended): A topical fluoride treatment may be applied to help strengthen enamel and prevent decay, especially beneficial for children and adults at higher risk of cavities.
- Dentist Examination (Often Combined): Dr. Arash Ravanbakhsh will typically perform a comprehensive examination either before or after the cleaning to check for any dental issues requiring further attention.
- Oral Hygiene Tips: We provide personalized feedback and tips on improving your brushing and flossing techniques.

How Often Should I Get My Teeth Cleaned?
For most patients with good oral health, professional teeth cleanings are recommended every six months. However, the ideal frequency can vary based on individual needs. Patients with a history of gum disease, those prone to heavy tartar buildup, or individuals with certain medical conditions might benefit from more frequent cleanings (e.g., every 3-4 months). Dr. Ravanbakhsh and our hygienist will recommend the optimal cleaning schedule for you based on your specific oral health status during your check-up at our Inglewood office.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Teeth Cleaning Calgary
⬥ Is professional teeth cleaning painful?
Most patients find professional cleanings comfortable. You might feel slight pressure or scraping sensations during scaling, but it shouldn’t be painful. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, please let our hygienist know, and we can take extra care or use desensitizing agents.
⬥ How long does a teeth cleaning appointment take?
A typical cleaning and check-up appointment usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the amount of buildup and whether X-rays or a full exam by the dentist are included in the same visit.

⬥ Is a dental hygienist the same as a dentist?
While both work together for your oral health, a dental hygienist primarily focuses on preventive care like cleanings, scaling, patient education, and screening for disease.
