Remove Plaque and Tartar
At Markham Street Dental, your clean starts with a gentle but thorough scale. This involves removing plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from around your teeth and gumline using special tools. Even if you brush and floss daily, tartar can build up in places your toothbrush can’t reach, and only a professional dental team can safely remove it.
Polish Your Teeth
Next comes the polish, which smooths the tooth surfaces and removes surface stains from coffee, tea or wine. This can make your teeth look cleaner and brighter, but also helps make it harder for plaque to stick in the future.
Check Your Gums
We’ll also assess your gum health, checking for signs of gingivitis or early gum disease. If we spot anything concerning, we’ll chat with you about next steps to prevent it from progressing.
Create a Treatment Plan
Depending on your needs, we may also recommend a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and protect against future decay, especially if you’re prone to cavities or have sensitive teeth.
