Tartar removal appointment
A dental cleaning is a professional procedure to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth.
Performed by a dentist or hygienist, it typically includes scaling, polishing, and sometimes fluoride treatment.
Regular cleanings—usually recommended every six months—help prevent cavities and gum disease: I'm overdue for a dental cleaning.
