Patient during a dental cleaning

A professional dental cleaning does much more than leave your teeth smooth. It's one of the best investments in your oral and general health.

Main benefits

Oral health and general health

Gum disease has been linked to general health problems. Keeping your gums healthy with periodic cleanings also cares for your wellbeing, not just your smile.

Long-term savings

Preventing is cheaper than treating. A periodic cleaning avoids cavities and costly periodontal treatments. It's prevention that cares for your wallet.

The mouth is the gateway to the body: caring for it is caring for your health.

A complement to your hygiene

Professional cleaning doesn't replace daily brushing and floss: it complements them. Together, they keep your mouth healthy between visits.

Frequently asked questions

Does cleaning whiten teeth?

It removes surface stains and lightens a bit, but doesn't replace professional whitening.

Is it necessary if I brush well?

Yes. Even with good hygiene, tartar forms that can only be removed professionally.

How often is advisable?

Generally every 6 months, or more often depending on your case and indication.
