Many patients have a professional cleaning around every six months, but the right interval varies. Gum condition, plaque build-up, smoking and certain medical conditions can all influence the recommendation.

Professional cleaning removes hardened deposits that brushing cannot, and it is also an opportunity to review your technique at home.

Your dentist can suggest an interval that suits your oral health after an examination.
