Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning
Regular cleanings are the most effective way to protect your teeth and gums while supporting your overall physical well-being.
- Prevention of Gum Disease:By removing bacteria along the gumline, we address inflammation early, preventing it from progressing into serious periodontal disease and bone loss.
- Early Detection of Concerns:Every cleaning visit serves as an opportunity for Dr. Garrido to monitor your mouth, identifying small issues before they require complex restorative work.
- Fresher Breath and Brighter Smile:Professional polishing removes surface stains from coffee or food and eliminates the bacteria responsible for persistent bad breath.
- Support for Systemic Health:Maintaining a clean mouth reduces the bacterial load in your body, which has been linked to better management of conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

FAQ Teeth Cleaning
How often should I have my teeth professionally cleaned?
For most patients, a cleaning every six months is ideal. However, if you have a history of gum disease, we may recommend more frequent visits to keep your oral health stable.
Does a professional cleaning hurt?
Cleanings are generally very comfortable. If you have sensitive gums, we use a gentle touch and specialized techniques to ensure you feel relaxed throughout the process.
Can't I just brush and floss better at home?
While home care is essential, plaque eventually hardens into tartar (calculus), which is like “cement” on the teeth. Only professional tools can safely remove it.
Will a cleaning make my teeth whiter?
A cleaning removes surface stains and buildup, which often makes teeth look significantly brighter and cleaner, though it doesn’t change the internal color of the enamel like whitening does.
Is a dental exam included with my cleaning?
Typically, yes. At BAO Dentistry, we perform a clinical exam alongside your cleaning to ensure that your entire mouth is healthy and free of underlying issues.
What happens if I haven't had a cleaning in a long time?
Don’t worry—we are here to help, not to judge. We will evaluate your current gum health and provide the appropriate level of cleaning to get your smile back on track honestly and effectively.
