What happens during a professional teeth cleaning?
A professional cleaning removes buildup that brushing and flossing can leave behind.
During your visit, our team can:
- Remove plaque and hardened tartar from your teeth
- Clean around the gumline
- Polish your teeth
- Check your gums for signs of inflammation
- Look for changes that may need Dr. Hosch’s attention
Your dental exam also gives Dr. Hosch an opportunity to check your teeth, gums, bite, and other areas of your mouth.
What can regular dental cleanings help prevent?
Cavities
Plaque contains bacteria that can contribute to tooth decay.
Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar from areas that may be difficult to clean thoroughly at home.
Gum disease
Red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums can be early signs of gum inflammation.
Regular dental visits give us a chance to check your gum health and recommend care before periodontal problems become more advanced.
If you already notice bleeding, recession, or other gum concerns, learn more about our gum and bone disease treatment.
Bigger dental problems
Routine exams can help us identify changes while they’re still easier to manage.
That may mean treating a small cavity before it becomes a larger restoration or addressing gum inflammation before it progresses.
How often should you get your teeth cleaned?
There isn’t one schedule that works for everyone.
Many patients come in for a professional cleaning and exam about every six months.
Dr. Hosch may recommend more frequent visits based on factors such as:
- Gum health
- Cavity risk
- Previous dental treatment
- Oral hygiene
- Your overall dental history
We’ll recommend a schedule based on what your mouth actually needs.
What if it’s been years since your last cleaning?
You can still start with a routine dental visit. There’s no need to feel embarrassed or explain why you waited.
We’ll evaluate your teeth and gums, explain what we see, and let you know whether a regular cleaning is appropriate or whether your gums need a different type of care.
If you have signs of periodontal disease, Dr. Hosch may recommend gum disease treatment instead of a routine cleaning.

Frequently asked questions about dental cleanings in Camp Springs
Why do I need professional cleanings if I brush and floss?
Brushing and flossing help remove plaque every day, but they can’t remove hardened tartar.
Professional cleanings remove buildup from areas that are difficult to clean thoroughly at home and give your dental team an opportunity to check for developing problems.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Many patients benefit from a cleaning and exam about every six months.
Your ideal schedule may vary based on your gum health, cavity risk, dental history, and individual needs.
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
Routine dental cleanings are generally comfortable.
If your teeth or gums feel sensitive, tell us before we begin so we can adjust your visit and help keep you comfortable.
What’s the difference between a dental cleaning and a dental exam?

They often happen during the same appointment.
