What is a professional dental cleaning? A
professional dental cleaning is a preventive procedure performed by
our licensed dental hygienists. It involves removing plaque and
tartar buildup that cannot be eliminated by regular brushing and
flossing. If left untreated, plaque hardens into tartar, which can
cause gum inflammation and tooth decay.

At Garden City Family Dentistry, your oral health is our top
priority. One of the most important steps in maintaining a
healthy, confident smile is scheduling regular professional
dental cleanings and exams. Our team of experienced dentists and
hygienists provides gentle, thorough cleanings that remove
plaque, tartar, and surface stains while detecting early signs
of dental problems.

Preventive care is not just about aesthetics—it’s about
long-term oral and overall health. Regular cleanings and dental
exams help prevent cavities, gum disease, tooth loss, and even
serious conditions like oral cancer. We provide comprehensive
