Preventive Care That Keeps Your Smile Strong

Routine dental cleanings are the cornerstone of lifelong oral health. At South Florida Laser Dentistry in Tamarac, we provide gentle yet thorough cleanings to help prevent decay, gum disease, and costly restorative procedures. Our experienced hygienists and doctors use advanced technology to ensure your cleaning is not only effective—but also comfortable.

For patients in Tamarac and nearby communities like Coral Springs and Plantation, regular teeth cleaning appointments are essential for maintaining healthy gums and bright smiles. Cleanings help remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that brushing and flossing alone can't fully eliminate.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?

When you visit us for a cleaning, here’s what you can expect:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation – We'll assess your gums and teeth for any signs of inflammation, decay, or buildup.
2. Plaque and Tartar Removal – Using professional instruments, our team will gently remove hardened deposits from your teeth.
3. Polishing – We’ll polish the surface of your teeth to eliminate minor stains and leave your smile feeling smooth.
4. Fluoride Treatment (if needed) – To strengthen enamel and help prevent cavities between visits.

If any concerns are discovered during your cleaning, our team may recommend additional care such as gum disease treatment, dental crowns, or sedation dentistry for more complex procedures.

How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Cleaned?

Most patients benefit from two cleanings per year, but some individuals—especially those with a history of periodontal disease—may require more frequent visits. During your checkup, we’ll create a personalized hygiene schedule based on your oral health needs.

Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings

Dental cleanings are not just cosmetic—they are critical to your overall health. Benefits include:

• Reduced risk of gum disease and tooth loss
• Early detection of dental issues
• Fresher breath and a cleaner smile
• Protection against systemic conditions linked to oral bacteria, such as heart disease

For those considering aesthetic improvements, cleanings serve as the perfect foundation before treatments like Invisalign or teeth whitening.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings

How long does a dental cleaning take?

A standard dental cleaning typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. If it’s been a while since your last visit or you need additional care, the appointment may be slightly longer.

Are dental cleanings painful?

Not at all. Dental cleanings are usually painless. You may feel some mild pressure during plaque and tartar removal, but most patients find the process very comfortable. For those with sensitivity or anxiety, we offer sedation options.

What happens if I skip regular cleanings?

Delaying your cleanings allows plaque to harden into tartar, which can only be removed professionally. This buildup increases your risk of gum disease, cavities, and even tooth loss. Routine cleanings are essential for preventive care.

Can children get dental cleanings here?

Yes! We provide family dentistry services and happily care for patients of all ages. Cleanings are an important part of children’s dental care and help instill lifelong healthy habits.

Does insurance cover teeth cleaning?

Most dental insurance plans cover two preventive cleanings per year. We accept a wide range of insurance providers and can help you understand your coverage.
