​

What Is a Professional Dental Cleaning?

A professional teeth cleaning is a preventive dental service performed by a licensed dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. This process helps reduce your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss.

​

It's important to understand that a dental cleaning is different from a dental examination. While the cleaning focuses on physically removing buildup from your teeth, the exam is a diagnostic step in which the dentist evaluates your oral health, checks your gums, reviews X-rays, and looks for signs of issues that may need further attention.

​

How Often Should I Get My Teeth Cleaned?

Most patients benefit from a professional dental cleaning every six months, which is the standard recommended by the American Dental Association. However, if you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings—often every three to four months—to help manage the condition.

​

At Ryba Dentistry, we tailor cleaning schedules to meet the individual needs of each patient. Routine care helps keep your smile healthy while preventing costly or complex dental problems in the future.

​

What Are the Benefits of Routine Dental Cleanings?

• Prevents plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay

• Keeps your breath fresh

• Allows early detection of oral health problems

• Lowers risk of systemic health conditions like heart disease

• Saves money by avoiding emergency or advanced procedures

​

Regular teeth cleanings are a simple way to protect both your oral and overall health. They also give you the chance to discuss any questions or concerns with your dentist during your visit.

​

What Does a Professional Teeth Cleaning Include?

At Ryba Dentistry, a professional cleaning begins with a periodontal charting and a review of your most recent X-rays to determine your gum health and the type of cleaning needed. For patients with healthy gums or mild gingivitis, a standard above-the-gumline cleaning will typically include:

• Removal of plaque, tartar, and surface stains

• Thorough flossing between teeth

• Polishing for a smooth, bright finish

• Fluoride treatment if needed for additional cavity protection

​

If signs of periodontal disease are present, we may recommend a deeper cleaning (scaling and root planing) as a next step.

​

How Long Does a Dental Cleaning Appointment Take?

Most routine dental cleanings take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your oral health status and whether it's your first visit with us. For new patients or those who haven't seen a dentist in some time, the appointment may include a more detailed exam and medical history discussion.

​

Our team values your time and strives to make every visit efficient without compromising the quality of your care.

​

How Do I Prepare for My Dental Cleaning Appointment?

• Brush and floss before your appointment

• Bring a list of any medications or health concerns

• Arrive early to complete any necessary forms

• Communicate dental anxiety so we can accommodate you with extra care and patience

​

At Ryba Dentistry, we are committed to creating a stress-free environment, and our team is always happy to help you feel at ease.

​

How Much Does a Dental Cleaning Cost?

Most dental insurance plans cover two cleanings per year as part of your preventive care benefits. If you do not have insurance or need help understanding your coverage, our front office team is happy to explain your options and provide transparent pricing.

​

We believe in making preventive dental care affordable and accessible to everyone in our community.
