Professional dental cleanings are a key step in keeping your teeth and gums healthy for life.
At The Dental Team, we make cleanings simple, comfortable, and free of stress. Our experienced dentists and hygienists thoroughly remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria to help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. With a gentle, judgment-free approach, we welcome patients of all ages, from young adults to seniors. Whether it’s been six months or several years since your last cleaning, we’re here to help you keep your oral health on track.
A dental cleaning is a preventive treatment provided by a dentist or licensed dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria that can contribute to cavities and gum disease. Even with consistent brushing and flossing, certain areas of the mouth are difficult to clean thoroughly at home, which makes professional cleanings an important part of maintaining long-term oral health.
We work to make every dental cleaning appointment both comfortable and efficient. Here’s what you can expect when you visit The Dental Team for your cleaning:
Comprehensive Exam – Your dentist and hygienist will check for cavities, gum concerns, and early signs of other dental issues.
Plaque and Tartar Removal – Using professional tools, we gently clear away buildup, paying close attention to hard-to-reach areas.
Polishing for a Bright Smile – We polish your teeth to lift surface stains and leave them smooth and refreshed.
Fluoride Treatment (If Needed) – For added protection, especially for patients under 18, we may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent decay.
Personalized Home Care Tips – You’ll receive practical guidance to help you improve your daily brushing and flossing habits.
Most appointments take about 45–60 minutes, leaving your teeth cleaner, brighter, and healthier.

Professional cleanings play a big role in oral health, but what you do between visits matters just as much. Here are some simple ways to keep your smile in great shape:
Combine these habits with regular dental cleanings, and you’ll help keep your teeth strong, healthy, and looking their best.
Most dentists recommend scheduling a professional cleaning every six months to help prevent plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease. If you’ve had gum problems or other dental concerns in the past, you may benefit from more frequent appointments. Your dentist can create a cleaning schedule tailored to your individual oral health needs.
Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, leaving your teeth looking fresher and brighter. While they don’t provide the same results as a dedicated whitening treatment, regular cleanings can help preserve a whiter smile by keeping deeper stains from developing.
Most dental insurance plans cover two routine cleanings per year as part of their preventive care benefits. If gum disease is diagnosed, many plans will also help cover the cost of periodontal cleanings. Our Loveland office accepts most major PPO plans, and our team can review your coverage with you so you know exactly what’s included.
Missing routine cleanings allows plaque and tartar to build up, increasing your risk for cavities, gum disease, and persistent bad breath. Over time, untreated gum disease can cause tooth loss and may even affect your overall health. Staying on top of regular cleanings helps protect your smile and can prevent the need for more costly dental treatments in the future. If it's been a while since your last cleaning, don't worry. We're here to help you get your dental health back on track.
Most people find dental cleanings to be comfortable and free of pain. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, you might feel slight discomfort, but our gentle approach is designed to keep you at ease. For added comfort, we can use a numbing gel to help reduce sensitivity during your cleaning.
After your appointment, it’s best to avoid acidic foods and drinks, such as coffee, soda, or citrus, for a short period to protect your freshly cleaned teeth. Keep up with daily flossing, brush with fluoride toothpaste, and stick to your regular checkup schedule. Maintaining these habits between visits helps keep your smile healthy and bright.
