Routine tooth cleanings are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your oral and overall health. At Harrison Family Dentistry in Chattanooga, we provide gentle, thorough dental cleanings designed to remove plaque and tartar, prevent gum disease, and keep your smile feeling fresh and healthy.

Even with excellent brushing and flossing at home, professional cleanings are essential to reach areas that are difficult to clean on your own.

 

What Happens During a Tooth Cleaning?

A professional dental cleaning focuses on removing buildup that can lead to cavities and gum disease. During your visit, our team will:

 

‣ Gently remove plaque and hardened tartar

‣ Clean along and below the gumline

‣ Polish teeth to remove surface stains

‣ Floss between teeth for a complete clean

‣ Review oral hygiene tips tailored to you

 

Our goal is to make your cleaning as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

 

Why Regular Cleanings Matter

‣ Professional tooth cleanings help:

‣ Prevent cavities and gum disease

‣ Reduce bad breath

‣ Protect tooth enamel

‣ Support overall health

‣ Detect problems early

 

Regular cleanings are a key part of preventive dentistry and can help you avoid more extensive dental treatment in the future.

 

How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?

Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months. However, patients with gum disease, frequent buildup, or certain health conditions may need more frequent visits. We will always personalize recommendations based on your needs.
