What is Teeth Cleaning

Teeth Cleaning is a professional dental service that removes accumulated plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces. The focus is on preventing more serious oral issues that can cause dental pain. It is also an opportunity to improve your day-to-day dental hygiene and learn more about your mouth’s specific needs.

The Teeth Cleaning Procedure

Step 1: Plaque Revealing Dye

Your teeth‐cleaning begins with a biofilm‐disclosing dye that reveals hidden plaque.

Step 2: Oral‐hygiene Coaching

An oral hygiene coaching session allows you to identify areas where plaque tends to linger. You will also learn about optimal brushing techniques, showing you the correct technique.

Step 3: Scaling

Your dentist will use a powder-based system to remove biofilm and stains. Your dentist will use Ultrasonic scaling to eliminate above‐ and below‐gumline tartar. 

Step 4: Polishing

Once your teeth are smooth and clean, your dentist will conduct fine polishing to fortify enamel. We then provide an overview of your tailored home‐care recommendations and set up follow-up visits.

FAQs About Teeth Cleaning

How much does a Teeth Cleaning cost in Stellenbosch

Teeth cleaning fees can vary based on your individual needs. Contact us for a personalised estimate, and we’ll review all the options so you can make a confident choice.

Is it good to do Teeth Cleaning

Teeth Cleaning is essential for maintaining your oral hygiene. Removing plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone miss prevents gum disease, preserves enamel, and keeps your smile healthy and bright.

How long does Teeth Cleaning last

That fresh-clean sensation you feel after Teeth Cleaning lasts a few weeks. However, the positive effects of teeth cleaning last from 3 to 6 months.

Can I eat after Teeth Cleaning

If you receive fluoride treatment, you should wait at least 30 minutes before eating. Feel free to eat if you’ve only had your teeth cleaned. Opt for softer, nonstaining foods at first if your teeth feel sensitive.

How often do I need to get Teeth Cleaning

You should schedule a professional teeth cleaning every 6 months. If you’re prone to tartar buildup or gum inflammation, returning every three to four months helps keep plaque under control and prevents periodontal issues.

Does Teeth Cleaning remove yellow stains

Yes. Professional teeth cleaning removes most yellow stains on your enamel. Deeper yellowing often requires additional teeth whitening treatments beyond a routine cleaning.
