Teeth Cleaning

To ensure a beautiful healthy smile for life, it’s important for both adults and children to clean their teeth at least twice a day. Dentists recommend a gentle but thorough brushing action using a soft toothbrush with a small head and fluoride toothpaste.

In addition to home care it is important to have your teeth cleaned professionally by your Dentist. Most Dentists recommend patients have their teeth professionally cleaned twice a year in combination with their biannual check-up.

Professional dental cleaning

A professional dental clean, also known as a scale and clean, is designed to remove plaque and tartar that is unable to be removed with normal everyday brushing at home. Such regimes will help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

For patients with private health insurance including dental cover, the cost of teeth cleaning is often covered by the health fund’s preventive dental benefits. This often means patients will have no or very limited out of pocket costs associated with a professional scale and clean. Further information on what your fund covers is available from your individual health fund.

For more information about professional teeth cleaning including costs, please contact your local Pacific Smiles Dental Clinic.
