At O’Connor Dental Care, a professional dental cleaning is a simple yet essential treatment that helps protect your oral health and prevent damage caused by harmful bacteria. The American Dental Association recommends scheduling a cleaning every six months. For patients who are more susceptible to gingivitis—or those with dental implants—more frequent visits every three to four months may be advised to help prevent infection and maintain healthy gums.
A dental cleaning goes beyond removing plaque and buildup. During your visit, our dentist will also perform a comprehensive oral examination to check for cavities and identify early signs of more serious concerns, including gum disease and oral cancer—because your overall health starts with your smile.

At O’Connor Dental Care, we recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes using fluoride toothpaste, and flossing at least once daily. A soft-bristled toothbrush is best and should be replaced every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become worn or damaged. The American Dental Association confirms that both manual and electric toothbrushes can be effective when used correctly.
There are several proven brushing techniques, and our dental hygienists at O’Connor Dental Care are happy to demonstrate the best methods for you during your next visit.
