What is professional teeth cleaning?

Professional teeth cleaning also called deep teeth cleaning or prophylaxis is performed to remove plaque and tartar from teeth. It can be performed by a dentist, but often by a certified dental hygienist.  It is also done to remove staining from teeth. It is recommended that patients get professional dental cleaning done twice a year for their long term dental and oral health. Professional dental cleaning takes from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the amount of work that needs to be done.

Is professional teeth cleaning painful?

Patients may experience pain and sensitivity during the teeth cleaning procedure. Hygienists may numb the gums of the patient before cleaning to make the procedure pain free.  

What is the recovery time after having teeth professionally cleaned?

Patients who experience pain, sensitivity or bleeding after professional teeth cleaning usually recover within a few days.

What are the types of professional teeth cleaning procedures?

The types of professional dental cleaning include general dental cleaning, scaling and polishing, air abrasion, cleaning using ultrasonic scalers and laser assisted dental cleaning.

What care is required after professional teeth cleaning?

Patients should take any medications prescribed by the dentist correctly. They should rinse their mouths with warm salt water after every meal for at least two weeks. They should be wary of hard food or food that may stick between teeth. If they experience sensitivity, they should not eat or drink very hot or very cold food till the sensitivity abates.

Teeth Cleaning from £117
Teeth cleaning—usually performed by a dental hygienist– is a very effective procedure for removing tartar (mineralized plaque) that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to reach in routine brushing. Because it is essential to remove the tartar below the gum line and above it, getting your teeth professionally cleaned by a dental hygienist at least twice a year is a must. Teeth cleaning with special dental tools removes harmful plaque, calculus (hardened plaque), and bacteria that can’t be removed at home by simply brushing or flossing– regardless of how vigorously you brush or floss. Professional teeth cleaning will include tooth scaling and root planning and tooth polishing and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated and can prevent cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. The shortest hygiene session is around 20 minutes, while the longest lasts about one hour but is reserved for only the most extreme cases, and these sessions can last shorter the more frequently you get them. As a true time saver, we recommend getting the treatment every half-year check-up, which is a necessary part of your oral health and is highly recommended. The best you can do is to see a dental hygienist near you to get proper advice on maintaining good oral health!
Scaling and Root Planing  
Healthy teeth are essential for any smile makeover. That’s why it is a good idea to ensure your teeth and gums are in top condition before considering any cosmetic treatment. Regular check-ups with your dentist and hygienist are highly recommended to keep your smile sparkling. The results of a professional scale and polish can be pleasantly surprising. Every half a year, a dental cleaning session removes stains and tartar that have built upon the surface of your teeth and will improve the appearance of your smile, leaving your teeth looking much whiter and brighter. You can maintain these results with a first-class brushing and flossing routine at home.
Ultrasonic Scaling  
Ultrasonic scaling is a standard procedure performed during a hygiene consultation to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gums. A dental hygienist performs the procedure. Before starting, a thorough examination of the teeth and gums may precede it.It is a kind of cleaning that uses a unique instrument called an ultrasonic scaler uses high-frequency vibrations and a fine stream of water to break up and remove the buildup of plaque and tartar from the teeth. The scaler is designed to be gentle on the teeth and gums while effectively removing stubborn deposits that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. Your teeth will be polished to remove any remaining stains and to give them a smooth, shiny surface. Ultrasonic scaling is an important part of preventive dental care because it prevents gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental problems. The procedure is pain-free and does not require any anesthesia. However, patients with sensitive teeth or gums may experience some discomfort.

Thank you to all for the service you gaveDerek, UK, 10 06 23

I would just like to say thank you for the way my appointment went last Friday (09/06/2023). I had been experiencing a nagging ache from a broken / fractured wisdom tooth for 3 to 4 weeks. My dentist referred me to the team at Leagrave as he had experienced trouble extracting it. I had a session of intravenous sedation and the tooth was out in around 30 minutes. Today less than 24 hours after the appointment is the first day I have not had to take tablets for pain. Thank you to all at Leagrave for the service you gave.

She was very impressed after the first visitPeter, UK, 25 06 24

Unable to get an NHS dentist on the Island, my wife discovered Bright Smile and signed up, she was very impressed after the first visit and we both go every six months for a check-up. On one visit Brenda wasn't happy with an ulcer she found on the wall of my mouth and asked me to see my G.P. My G.P. agreed with her and requested an appointment at the MaxioFacial department at St Mary's. An appointment was made and I was seen by an oral cancer consultant. The ulcer was gone however there was scaring so a further appointment was made to ensure. I've had the second appointment and my consultancy is ongoing for the present. If it hadn't been for Brenda's advice things could have become quite serious. When, eventually we can see an NHS dentist we will continue to use Bright Smile for checkups, their service is first-rate.

Had to have a large molar tooth removed yesterday and was really dreading it. I need not have worried because Dr Gaya did it so that I felt nothing. The injections didn’t hurt and the extraction was done very quickly. I couldn’t believe it. Having had bad experiences in the past has left me nervous. I need not have been because this dentist is brilliant. She is very friendly as well as efficient. I have been with this practice for some years now. The dentist’s assistant nurse is also very pleasant as are all the reception staff. Can’t speak highly enough of them all.

If you go here, there is a bell to ring rather than just enter the premises. Why the receptionist didn't just open the door when I was trying to get in I do not know. I went for a consultation to see what the best option was for a missing tooth. You pay before you go. The staff were friendly. The dentist is lovely putting me at ease, explaining what he was doing whilst teaching his staff at the same time. Nice manner about him. He then took the time to show me what options were available to me and how much each would cost. The clinic was state of the art, modern with the latest tech to make the job easier. The view was stunning. I would recommend the experience to others.
