The process of a dentist or dental hygienist cleaning your teeth is commonly referred to as a "dental cleaning" or "professional teeth cleaning." It is also known as a "prophylaxis" in dental terminology. During this procedure, the dental professional removes plaque, tartar (hardened plaque), and surface stains from your teeth to promote oral health and prevent dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. The cleaning process typically involves using specialized instruments, such as scalers and polishers, along with a combination of manual and ultrasonic techniques. The dental professional may also provide oral hygiene instructions and recommendations for maintaining good oral health between cleanings.
