Teeth Cleaning London

Teeth Cleaning

A professional dental cleaning (prophylaxis) is a essential routine procedure that thoroughly cleans your teeth and gums to preserve your oral health. At Synergy Centre Dental, located in Northwest London, Ontario, Dr. Octavian Tetelbaum—voted the Best Cosmetic Dentist in the 2023 Best of London Awards—and our skilled hygiene team utilize advanced technology to gently remove buildup and protect your smile against gingivitis and periodontitis.

Even with diligent daily brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar within 24 to 72 hours in hard-to-reach areas. Once tartar forms, only professional hygiene instruments can safely remove it. Regular prophylaxis removes these stubborn deposits before they lead to serious gum inflammation, tooth loss, or systemic health issues.

Why Regular Cleanings Matter

  • High Prevalence: Over 70% of Canadians will develop gum disease at some point in their lives.
  • Plaque & Tartar Removal: Clears hardened buildup above and below the gumline that toothbrushes cannot reach.
  • Gum Disease Prevention: Stops early gingivitis from advancing into permanent periodontitis.
  • Preventive Protection: Patients with routine cleanings are far less likely to need extractions or gum surgery.

Key Benefits of Hygiene Care

  • Fresher Breath: Eliminates odor-causing bacteria trapped beneath the gumline.
  • A Brighter Smile: Polishes away surface stains from coffee, tea, and everyday habits.
  • Advanced EMS Technology: Featuring Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) for ultimate comfort.
  • Judgment-Free Care: Welcoming support no matter how long it has been since your last visit.

What to Expect During Your Hygiene Visit

Our dental hygiene care is tailored to your specific oral health needs to keep your teeth and gums strong:

1. Biofilm & Tartar Removal

Using warm water, gentle airflow, and specialized instruments, our hygienists remove harmful plaque and tartar from above and below your gumline.

2. Polishing & Stain Removal

Surface stains are gently polished away to restore the clean, natural brightness of your tooth enamel.

3. Comprehensive Evaluation

We evaluate your mouth for early signs of gum inflammation, cavities, enamel wear, or other oral health concerns.

4. Personalized Home Care Tips

Receive tailored guidance and techniques to improve your daily brushing and flossing routine between professional visits.


Hygiene Frequency & Gum Disease Prevention

Standard Preventive Visits (6 Months)

Most patients with healthy gums benefit from a professional hygiene appointment every six months to maintain baseline oral health and keep stain buildup under control.

Periodontal & High-Risk Care (3–4 Months)

If you have underlying periodontitis, diabetes, or a history of heavy buildup, cleaner visits every three to four months help control bacterial progression and prevent irreversible bone loss.

At our office, we are proud to be a Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) practice, using advanced EMS technology to provide a more comfortable, effective, and minimally invasive cleaning experience.

GBT focuses on the safe removal of biofilm (harmful bacteria) that can contribute to cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns. By using warm water, gentle airflow, and specialized powders, EMS technology helps clean teeth thoroughly while being kind to your teeth, gums, and implants.

Plaque and stains can build up over time, especially in areas that are difficult to reach at home—even with great brushing and flossing habits. Regular hygiene visits allow us to safely and comfortably remove buildup that toothbrushes simply can’t.
