dental cleanings
Professional plaque removal
Dental cleanings are professional procedures to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth—maintenance that regular brushing can't fully accomplish.
Most dentists recommend them every six months: I'm overdue for a dental cleaning.
The singular form describes one procedure; the plural often refers to the practice generally or a series of appointments.
