Professional Dental Cleanings in Saskatoon – Keep Your Smile Healthy

Why Are Regular Dental Cleanings Important?

Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that daily brushing and flossing cannot reach. Routine cleanings help:

• Prevent cavities and gum disease
  
• Remove stains for a whiter smile
  
• Keep your breath fresh and clean
  
• Detect early signs of oral health issues
  
• Improve overall gum health and prevent tooth loss
  

Skipping regular cleanings can lead to gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth decay, which may require restorative treatments like dental fillings or tooth extractions.

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning at BLOK Dental Studio

1. Comprehensive Dental Examination

Before starting your cleaning, our Saskatoon dentists perform a full oral health assessment, checking for:

• Cavities and tooth decay
  
• Early signs of gum disease
  
• Signs of oral cancer
  
• The condition of existing dental work (fillings, crowns, etc.)
  

Learn more about our preventative dental care.

2. Plaque & Tartar Removal 

Using specialized tools, our hygienists will gently remove plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from the surface of your teeth and below the gum line. This process is essential in preventing gum disease.

3. Deep Cleaning & Polishing

After scaling, we polish your teeth with a special paste to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel, making it harder for plaque to build up again.

4. Professional Flossing & Rinse

To ensure a complete clean, our hygienist will floss between your teeth to remove any hidden plaque or debris, followed by a fluoride rinse for extra cavity protection.

5. Fluoride Treatment 

For patients prone to cavities, we may recommend fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel and protect against decay.

How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?

Most patients should schedule a professional cleaning every six months. However, more frequent visits may be needed if you have:

• A history of gum disease
  
• Braces or dental restorations (crowns, implants, etc.)
  
• Dry mouth (xerostomia), which increases plaque buildup
  
• Smoking or frequent coffee/tea consumption leads to stains
