Teeth Cleaning in Brooklyn

Everyone loves the feeling of a freshly cleaned mouth. While brushing and flossing at home are essential, they can’t remove all plaque and tartar. That’s why professional dental cleanings are so important for keeping your smile healthy and bright.

Why Professional Cleanings Matter

Even with great home care, plaque hardens into tartar that only a dentist or hygienist can remove. Regular cleanings help prevent:

  • Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
  • Cavities and tooth decay
  • Bad breath caused by bacterial buildup
  • Long-term oral health problems that may otherwise go unnoticed


💡Most patients benefit from cleanings every 6 months. Some may need them more often—your dentist will recommend what’s best for you.

What to Expect During a Cleaning

When you visit Sconzo and Sciascia General Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, your cleaning will include:

  1. Dental exam – checking your gums, teeth, and overall oral health (sometimes with digital images).
  2. Scaling – removing plaque and hardened tartar from all tooth surfaces, even between teeth.
  3. Polishing – smoothing your teeth to help prevent new buildup.
  4. Flossing – removing any remaining debris for a truly fresh finish.

Afterward, your teeth will feel smooth, clean, and refreshed. You may even notice small new spaces between teeth where tartar was removed—don’t worry, your teeth naturally shift back within days.

Teeth Cleaning FAQ

Does a teeth cleaning hurt?

Most patients only feel mild pressure during scaling. If your gums are sensitive, we can make you more comfortable.

A standard appointment usually lasts about an hour, depending on how much plaque and tartar need to be removed.
