About Teeth Cleaning & Polishing
Why Are Routine Dental Cleanings So Important?
Even with excellent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can still build up in hard-to-reach places. A professional cleaning:
- Prevents cavities and gum disease
- Removes stains and buildup
- Helps catch issues early through exams and X-rays
- Leaves your teeth feeling smooth and fresh
At Hamamoto Dentistry, we recommend teeth cleanings every six months for most patients—or more frequently if you’re managing gum disease or other conditions.
What to Expect at Your Cleaning Appointment
During your visit, our friendly Bothell dental hygienists will:
- Gently remove plaque and tartar using advanced ultrasonic tools
- Polish your teeth to remove stains and smooth enamel
- Floss and rinse to eliminate debris
- Apply fluoride (if recommended) for added protection
- Perform a dental exam and review oral hygiene habits
If needed, we’ll take digital X-rays or recommend a deep cleaning plan for patients with gum disease.
