Keep Your Smile Healthy

Regular dental cleanings are one of the most important steps in maintaining strong teeth, healthy gums, and a confident smile. At Tigani Family Dentistry, we make it easy and comfortable to stay on top of your oral health.

What Are Dental Cleanings?

A Simple, Preventive Step for Long-Term Oral Health

Dental cleanings are routine visits that help remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth—things brushing alone can’t fully handle.

Performed by a dental hygienist, cleanings help prevent:

  • Tooth decay
  • Gum disease
  • Bad breath
  • Early tooth loss

We also use this time to check for any signs of dental problems early on, when they’re easiest to treat. Regular cleanings, usually every six months, are a powerful way to protect your smile for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions—Dental Cleanings

Got Questions? We’re Here with the Answers.

How often should I get a dental cleaning?

Most patients benefit from a cleaning every six months. If you have gum issues or are prone to plaque buildup, we may recommend more frequent visits.

Does a dental cleaning hurt?

Cleanings should not be painful. You may feel light pressure or mild sensitivity, but our hygienists are gentle and always check in to keep you comfortable.

Is a cleaning the same as a deep cleaning?

No. A regular cleaning focuses on the surface of the teeth and gumline. A deep cleaning (also called scaling and root planing) is for patients with gum disease and involves cleaning below the gumline.

Will insurance cover my cleaning?

Most dental insurance plans cover two cleanings per year. We’re happy to help check your coverage.
