Teeth Cleaning in Georgetown, Ontario
Regular teeth cleaning appointments help keep your mouth healthy by removing plaque and hardened buildup (tartar) from areas you can’t fully reach with brushing and flossing—especially along the gumline and between teeth. At Argyll Dental, we provide dental cleanings in Georgetown for patients of all ages, with a calm, comfortable approach and clear guidance you can use at home.
Why dental cleanings matter
Even with good daily brushing and flossing, plaque can build up over time.
If plaque hardens into tartar, it can’t be removed with a toothbrush and may contribute to gum irritation and inflammation.

What happens during a teeth cleaning appointment
Professional whitening offers:
a review of your dental and health history
an exam of your teeth and gums
removal of plaque and tartar using specialized instruments
polishing to smooth the tooth surfaces
personalized advice on brushing, flossing, and home care
Dental X-rays if needed (based on your history and exam)
We’ll explain what we’re doing as we go, and we’re happy to take breaks if you’re sensitive or anxious.
How often should you get your teeth cleaned?
The right schedule depends on your oral health, home care habits, and gum health. Many patients do well with routine cleanings, while others may benefit from more frequent visits. We’ll recommend a plan based on what we see—so your care is tailored, not one-size-fits-all.
If your gums bleed when you brush
Bleeding gums can be a sign of inflammation, especially if it happens regularly. A professional cleaning and an exam can help identify what’s causing it and what changes can improve gum health.
If you’re experiencing persistent bleeding, sensitivity, or bad breath that doesn’t improve, book a visit so we can assess it properly.
