Even with careful brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar still build up over time. Professional teeth cleaning helps remove this buildup, freshen your breath and keep your gums healthy so you can enjoy a confident smile for longer. At The Smile Spot in Dulwich Hill, we provide gentle, thorough cleans for the whole family in a relaxed setting.
Plaque hardens into tartar (calculus) on your teeth, particularly around the gumline and in hard‑to‑reach areas. Once this happens, it cannot be removed with a toothbrush alone and may irritate your gums, leading to gingivitis or more advanced gum disease. Gum problems are one of the main reasons adults lose teeth.
Routine teeth cleaning appointments help prevent these issues by removing plaque and tartar before they cause lasting damage. Many patients also notice whiter teeth and fresher breath after their visit, as staining from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking can be gently polished away.
Your appointment typically starts with a quick check of your teeth and gums. The dentist or hygienist then uses specialised instruments to carefully remove tartar from around the gumline and between teeth. We move at your pace and adjust our approach if you have sensitive areas, explaining each step so you feel comfortable.
After scaling, your teeth are polished to smooth the surface and remove superficial staining. In some cases, we may recommend additional preventative measures, such as fluoride treatment, to strengthen enamel and lower your risk of decay. If we spot concerns like worn fillings, cracks or missing teeth, we will outline suitable next steps, which may include restorative care or future dental implants.
As a family‑friendly dentist in Dulwich Hill, The Smile Spot focuses on making professional teeth cleaning as stress‑free as possible. Our team uses up‑to‑date equipment and techniques, including options such as laser dentistry where appropriate, to support precise, gentle treatment. If you are interested in enhancing the appearance of your smile after your clean, we can also talk through cosmetic options like veneers once your oral health is in good shape.
If it has been more than six months since your last professional teeth cleaning, this is a great time to book. Regular cleans are one of the easiest ways to maintain a healthy mouth, avoid gum disease and keep your smile looking its best.
