Teeth Cleaning
Keeping your teeth clean is one of the simplest and most effective ways to maintain good oral health. At Manor Dental Practice in Weston, we provide gentle and thorough teeth cleaning treatments to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile. Regular hygiene appointments not only keep your mouth feeling fresh but also help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental concerns before they start.
What Is Teeth Cleaning?
Teeth cleaning, often carried out by a dental hygienist, is a professional treatment designed to remove plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. Over time, bacteria in your mouth form a sticky film on your teeth that can cause gum irritation or decay. Professional cleaning helps remove these deposits safely, leaving your teeth smooth and polished.
At Manor Dental Practice, our friendly dental hygienists use gentle ultrasonic tools and polishing techniques to ensure a comfortable experience, even for patients who may feel nervous about dental visits.
Benefits and Suitability
Professional teeth cleaning in Weston offers a range of benefits for patients of all ages:
- Helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
- Removes surface stains for a brighter smile.
- Reduces bad breath (halitosis) caused by bacteria.
- Supports overall oral health and wellbeing.
If you notice bleeding gums when brushing, persistent bad breath, or build-up on your teeth, a hygiene appointment could help. Even if your mouth feels healthy, routine cleaning every 6 months helps keep it that way.
Our team ensures that every treatment is gentle, effective, and tailored to your comfort level.
The Teeth Cleaning Process
Here’s what to expect during your teeth cleaning appointment at Manor Dental Practice:
- Initial Assessment – Your hygienist checks your teeth and gums for signs of plaque, tartar, or inflammation.
- Scaling – Plaque and tartar are carefully removed using ultrasonic or manual instruments.
- Polishing – A special paste is used to polish your teeth, helping to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel.
- Fluoride or Air Polishing (if recommended) – Some patients may benefit from additional cleaning techniques for extra protection or stain removal.
- Oral Care Advice – You’ll receive tailored guidance on brushing, flossing, and maintaining your oral hygiene at home.
The procedure usually takes around 30–45 minutes and is comfortable for most patients.
Aftercare and Next Steps
After your teeth cleaning, your mouth will feel noticeably fresher and smoother. You can resume your normal diet and oral care straight away. To maintain results, brush twice daily, floss regularly, and book your next hygiene appointment every 6 months.
