What Are Dental Cleanings?
A dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a professional procedure performed by a dentist or dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. Unlike brushing and flossing at home, teeth cleanings use specialized tools to clean areas that are hard to reach, ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy.
Dental cleanings are typically recommended every six months, though some patients with specific conditions may need more frequent visits. These appointments not only keep your smile sparkling but also play a critical role in preventing serious dental issues.
If you’re overdue for a routine dental cleaning, don’t fret! Simply contact our Vero Beach dental office at (772) 778-5550 to get scheduled.
Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings
When patients maintain regular dental appointments, they experience the following benefits from dental cleanings:
- Prevents cavities, tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues
- Early detection of dental problems during the dental exam
- Helps maintain overall health
- Promotes fresher breath
Types of Dental Cleanings
Routine Teeth Cleanings
Routine teeth cleanings are the most common and are recommended for those with good oral health. During a dental cleaning, our dentist or dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar buildup on the surface of your teeth. The dental cleaning process is quick and shouldn’t take longer than one hour.
This type of cleaning is typically done twice a year as part of routine dental health care.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing, also known as deep dental cleanings, is recommended for those with moderate to severe gum disease. During a scaling and root planing treatment, our dentist will remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line. They’ll also smooth out the roots of your teeth to prevent future buildup.
In many cases, one or two sessions of scaling and root planing can reverse the effects of gum disease and prevent it from progressing into further stages.
Periodontal Maintenance
A periodontal maintenance cleaning is done after scaling and root planing to maintain the health of the gums. During periodontal maintenance, our dentist will remove any plaque and tartar that has accumulated since your last deep cleaning. This type of cleaning is typically done every three to four months for patients with gum disease.
Gross Debridement
Gross debridement cleaning isn’t your typical dental cleaning. It’s done to remove plaque and tartar that’s built up excessively for routine teeth cleaning. This type of dental cleaning is necessary when there’s so much buildup, making it difficult for the dentist to perform a thorough oral examination. The gums may be swollen, and the buildup must be removed before a prophylaxis or dental exam can be completed.

Aftercare Tips for Dental Cleanings
Post-cleaning care helps maintain the results and keeps your mouth and teeth healthy until your next visit. Follow these tips:
- Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: For 24 to 48 hours, steer clear of coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored foods to prevent staining.
- Stick to Soft Foods: If your gums are sensitive, opt for soft foods like yogurt or soup for a day or two.
- Brush and Floss Regularly: Maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine to prevent plaque buildup.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps rinse away bacteria and keeps your mouth fresh.
- Follow Dentist Recommendations: If our dentist suggests a specific mouthwash or toothpaste, incorporate it into your routine.
Dental Cleaning Costs
On average, dental cleaning costs between $75 $200 without dental insurance. The price varies based on several factors, including the type of cleaning, your location, and whether you have dental insurance. If you have any questions, contact our dental office near you today at (772) 778-5550.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are teeth cleanings painful?
No, teeth cleanings are typically painless. You may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity during the cleaning, especially if you have sensitive teeth or gums, but it shouldn’t be painful. Your dentist will provide you with post-operative instructions after the cleaning.
How long does a dental cleaning take?
A professional cleaning typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. However, the length of your routine cleaning depends on the type of cleaning and the extent of plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth.
