Professional Teeth Cleaning | Tandarts Leidseplein

Professional Teeth Cleaning

Even with good brushing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleaning removes these deposits and helps reduce the risk of gum inflammation and decay.

  • Plaque removal — Eliminates harmful bacterial buildup around teeth and gums.
  • Tartar cleaning — Removes hardened deposits that cannot be brushed away at home.
  • Polishing — Smoothens tooth surfaces and helps reduce staining.
  • Fresh breath support — Helps improve oral freshness by reducing bacteria accumulation.

Gum Health and Prevention

Healthy gums are essential for maintaining strong teeth. Dental hygienists play an important role in identifying early signs of gum disease and preventing further progression.
