Dental Cleanings in Mississauga
Routine dental cleanings are an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. At Eledent Family Dentistry in Mississauga, our team provides professional dental cleanings for children, adults and seniors as part of ongoing preventive dental care.
A professional cleaning complements brushing and flossing at home by removing plaque and tartar from areas that can be difficult to clean on your own. Your dental team can also monitor changes in your teeth and gums and recommend a cleaning schedule based on your individual oral health needs.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
A dental cleaning is tailored to your oral health and may include an assessment of your teeth and gums, removal of plaque and tartar, polishing and personalized home-care guidance. If your dental team notices areas that need additional attention, they can explain the findings and discuss appropriate next steps.
If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let the team know before your cleaning so your concerns can be considered during the appointment.
Why Regular Dental Cleanings Matter
Routine professional cleanings can help:
- Remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing may not fully remove
- Support healthy gums and teeth
- Monitor changes in your oral health over time
- Identify areas that may need closer attention
- Reinforce effective brushing and flossing habits at home

How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?
There is no single cleaning schedule that is right for every patient. The timing of your visits may depend on your gum health, oral hygiene, medical history, previous dental treatment and other individual factors.
Your dentist or dental hygienist can recommend a schedule based on what they see during your visits. If your oral health needs change, how often you may need a dental cleaning may change as well. You can also read more about how often you should get a dental cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings
What is the difference between a routine dental cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A routine dental cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar as part of preventive dental care. If signs of gum disease are present, your dentist may recommend additional periodontal treatment based on the condition of your gums and supporting tissues. The appropriate treatment depends on your individual oral health.
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
The recommended frequency varies from person to person. Your dentist or dental hygienist can suggest a schedule based on your gum health, plaque and tartar buildup, home-care routine and other individual factors.
Can I get a dental cleaning if I have sensitive teeth?
Yes, many patients with sensitive teeth still receive routine dental cleanings. Let the dental team know about your sensitivity before the appointment so they can consider it when planning your care.
Do dental cleanings whiten teeth?
A routine cleaning may remove some surface buildup and staining, but it is not the same as professional teeth whitening. If changing the shade of your teeth is your goal, learn more about cosmetic dentistry or ask the dental team about your options.
Does Eledent accept CDCP patients for dental care?
Yes. Eledent Family Dentistry accepts CDCP patients. If you plan to use CDCP for your visit, contact the office before your appointment so the team can confirm the details that apply to your care.
