What Happens During Dental Cleanings?
Your dental cleaning will begin by addressing the tartar and plaque buildup from your teeth, which is difficult to remove at home, no matter how often you brush and floss. Special instruments are used to carefully scale buildup without affecting the enamel. To start, an ultrasonic device addresses large chunks of plaque and tartar with a lubricating mist and high-speed vibrations. Next, a fine handheld instrument, like a curette or scaler, will remove any remaining buildup. Every tooth needs to be scaled to remove all the plaque and tartar. Once your teeth are clean, your enamel will be carefully polished to remove stains and strengthen the teeth. A fluoride treatment may be done after your cleaning.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Cleanings?
Individuals from Frisco, Prosper, and McKinney, TX who undergo regular oral cleanings can expect to enjoy several benefits following their procedure, like:
- Opportunity to elect for fluoride treatment to strengthen and protect teeth
- Diminishment of tartar and plaque accumulation
- Improvement of overall tooth health and appearance
- Avoiding problems, such as cavities, or more serious issues before they advance
Dental Cleaning Reviews
Dr. Long and his staff are amazing. I’ve never gone back to the same dentist because I hate the dentist but he makes you feel comfortable, actually makes conversation with you and everyone here always greets you with a smile. Definitely recommend and I’m happy to say I have a dentist to keep going back to for my cleanings and anything else I might need! 10/10

I had a dental cleaning done and the whole process was smooth and comfortable. Everyone was friendly and informative when I had questions.

I moved to Tracey Dental in January 2025 and on my 6 month cleaning appt today I can certainly say that I made a good choice. Feels like home when I visit. It's pain free, stress free and I don't have to take any anxiety medicine before going to the dentist anymore! I highly recommend them!
