Routine professional teeth cleanings are an essential part of maintaining your oral health. At Richardson Dentistry, we offer prophylaxis cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, helping to prevent gum disease, cavities, and other dental issues. Our experienced hygienists use gentle techniques to ensure your cleaning is comfortable and effective, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and healthy.
The Importance of Professional Teeth Cleanings
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are difficult to reach, leading to gum disease and tooth decay. Professional teeth cleanings are essential for removing this buildup, which can’t be eliminated with regular home care. During your cleaning, our hygienists will also examine your gums for signs of disease and check for any other dental concerns that may need attention.
Regular cleanings help to:
- Prevent gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
- Remove plaque and tartar buildup
- Freshen your breath
- Maintain healthy teeth and gums
- Detect early signs of oral health issues

Am I a Good Candidate for Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)?
Teeth cleaning is recommended for everyone, regardless of age, as part of your regular dental checkups. If it’s been a while since your last cleaning or you’re experiencing any signs of gum disease, such as swollen or bleeding gums, it’s important to schedule a cleaning soon. Maintaining routine cleanings is essential for long-term oral health and disease prevention.
