What Are the Different Types of Dental Cleanings?

In this video, dental hygienist Tauna Abegglen explains the different types of dental cleanings available, including deep cleanings for patients with tartar buildup or early signs of gum disease.

We offer several types of dental cleanings, depending on your needs. These include cleanings for kids, routine adult cleanings, and deep cleanings.

Deep cleanings are often needed for patients who haven’t had a cleaning in several years. In these cases, tartar and calculus have built up beneath the gumline, sometimes leading to bone loss. Our team performs many of these deeper cleanings to restore gum health and prevent further damage.
