What is a Teeth Cleaning?
A teeth cleaning is a name given to a physical exam of the teeth to ensure there are no cavities, combined with removing plaque and tartar around the gum line and between the teeth. A dental hygienist will use a small mirror to check around the teeth and a scaler to scrape off the plaque. Finally, they brush and floss the teeth professionally and apply a fluoride treatment to protect the teeth from cavities. For patients who have excess plaque, a deep cleaning is recommended.
At Drill Dental Bar, we offer both maintenance cleanings and deep cleanings.
Who Are the Best Candidates for a Teeth Cleaning?
The best candidates for teeth cleaning in Miami will have some of the following characteristics:
- Low self-esteem due to oral hygiene
- No underlying medications
- Not on blood thinners
- Plaque on their teeth
- Tartar on their teeth
- Realistic expectations
Note: For cardiovascular patients, we recommend getting a clearance note from your cardiologist to check if a deep cleaning is okay in case of the use of thinners. If not, we recommend they provide guidelines for interrupting blood thinner use to perform the deep cleaning.

What’s the

The first step to getting teeth cleaned in Miami, FL, is to schedule an appointment with our dental hygienist. During your appointment, they will examine your teeth and recommend a maintenance or deep cleaning.
What to Expect From a Teeth Cleaning Treatment
Your day at Drill Dental Bar for your teeth cleaning will depend on whether you are getting maintenance or deep cleaning. Read below for each type of cleaning:
Maintenance – Our standard cleaning will comprise of a quick physical exam, and depending on no appearance of cavities or anything needing immediate dental notice, our hygienist will scale your teeth, brush, floss, and polish them, eliminating plaque and tartar, preventing tooth decay, bad breath, and deterioration. This is a cleaning that should be scheduled every six months.
Deep Cleaning – For this type of cleaning, the hygienist will apply a topical anesthetic or even local anesthesia, should you choose to receive it. Once numb, the hygienist will move the gums up and really dig deep to remove any plaque and tartar. Sometimes, this process can take a while, and splitting your sessions into half or a quadrant of the mouth might be recommended.
Teeth Cleaning Recovery
There is no recovery time for a maintenance cleaning. Although you might feel sensitive in your mouth for the rest of the day, it should resolve soon.
For deep cleaning, do not be startled if there is gum bleeding and soreness after this process. It will resolve, and you will have a cleaner, fresher, and healthier mouth.
In the case of periodontal disease, you might be asked to return in four to six weeks for a follow-up appointment and recommended to have a standard cleaning every four months rather than the usual six months.
