Even the most diligent brusher and flosser can miss areas where plaque and tartar accumulate. Professional teeth cleaning (dental prophylaxis) removes stubborn buildup that at-home care simply cannot reach, protecting your teeth and gums from decay and disease.
At Eastdale Family Dental in Stoney Creek, our hygienists use gentle, modern instruments to clean thoroughly above and below the gumline — leaving your mouth feeling fresh and your smile looking brighter.
Why Regular Cleanings Matter
- ✓ Removes hardened tartar (calculus) that brushing cannot eliminate
- ✓ Reduces risk of gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
- ✓ Detects early signs of cavities, oral cancer, and other conditions
- ✓ Polishes teeth to remove surface stains for a brighter smile
- ✓ Freshens breath by eliminating bacteria-laden buildup
- ✓ Saves money by preventing costly restorative treatment
