A professional cleaning by a dental hygienist is recommended twice a year:

- The hygienist will remove plaque or tartar from your teeth using a mildly abrasive paste and tools.
- After your teeth are cleaned, they will be polished to remove any surface stains so they are sparkly and bright.
- The dentist or hygienist will also inspect your mouth and teeth for any signs of gum disease, tooth decay or oral cancer.

A teeth cleaning is generally done by a dental hygienist—a licensed professional who will assist your dentist during your appointment.
