Cleaning

Thorough examination and cleansing of teeth surfaces and gum. This involves removing plaque and tartar deposits that have built up over time. This helps strengthen and protect teeth from decay. Teeth cleaning is part of oral hygiene and involves the removal of dental plaque from teeth with the intention of preventing cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontal disease. People routinely clean their own teeth by brushing and interdental cleaning, and dental hygienists can remove hardened deposits not removed by routine cleaning. Those with dentures and natural teeth may supplement their cleaning with a denture cleaner.
