Personalized Preventive Dental Cleanings

Routine Care to Support Long Term Oral Health

The current state of your dental health is unique, which is why Creekview Dental offers a variety of cleaning and gum care options to meet individual needs. Regular dental cleanings and exams, combined with good home care, play an important role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Dr. Blackwell and our dental hygienists regularly evaluate your oral health to ensure you remain on a recare schedule that is right for you. For most patients, cleanings are recommended every six months.

Cleanings are more than a polish. They are a key part of preventing cavities, supporting gum health, and catching issues early. At Creekview Dental, our hygienists and Dr. Blackwell tailor your cleaning visit based on what your teeth and gums need today, then recommend a recare schedule that helps you stay on track long term.

Deep Cleanings for Gum Health

Additional Care When More Thorough Treatment Is Needed

For patients who have not had a dental visit in some time, a deeper cleaning may be recommended due to plaque or calculus buildup below the gumline. Deep cleanings are typically completed over two appointments and are performed using local anesthetic to help keep patients comfortable throughout treatment. Deep cleaning care may include:


  • Removal of plaque and calculus buildup.
  • Treatment completed over two appointments.
  • Local anesthetic for patient comfort.
  • Maintenance cleanings every three to six months.


Following a deep cleaning, our hygienists will recommend a maintenance schedule based on the severity of your condition to help support long term gum health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful Answers to Common Patient Questions
  • How often should I schedule a dental cleaning?

    For most patients, dental cleanings are recommended every six months. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, support gum health, and allow your dentist to monitor changes in your teeth and gums. Some patients may benefit from more frequent cleanings based on gum health, medical history, or past dental concerns. Your dentist or hygienist will recommend a schedule that best supports your long term oral health.

  • What happens during a routine dental cleaning?

    A routine dental cleaning typically includes removal of plaque and tartar, polishing to help reduce surface stains, and an exam to check the health of your teeth and gums. X-rays may be taken when needed to evaluate areas that are not visible during a visual exam. Cleanings are designed to be thorough yet comfortable, and our team will explain what they see and answer any questions during your visit.

  • What if I have not had a cleaning in a long time?

    That is very common and nothing to worry about. If it has been a while since your last dental visit, our team will start with a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health. Based on what we find, we may recommend a routine cleaning or a deeper level of care to address buildup below the gumline. The goal is to help you get back on track comfortably and safely, without judgment.

  • Will I need a deep cleaning?

    A deep cleaning may be recommended if there are signs of gum disease or significant buildup below the gums. This type of cleaning focuses on removing plaque and calculus from areas that a routine cleaning cannot reach. Deep cleanings are typically completed over two visits and may include local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Your dentist or hygienist will review findings with you and explain all options before treatment begins.
