Plaque and Tartar Cleanings

In Nampa, Idaho

Plaque and Tartar Removal

A healthy smile starts with keeping your teeth free of plaque and tartar. Plaque is a soft, sticky film of bacteria that naturally forms on your teeth throughout the day. While regular brushing and flossing remove much of it, plaque can be stubborn and hard to reach in certain spots. When it isn’t cleaned away, it hardens into tartar, which can irritate your gums, cause cavities, and even lead to gum disease if left untreated.

Once tartar forms, it cannot be brushed away at home and requires professional care. That is where Middle Creek Dental is here to help. Our team is dedicated to providing gentle, thorough cleanings that not only remove plaque and tartar but also keep your mouth feeling fresh, healthy, and comfortable.

What to Expect with Our Professional Cleanings

  • Comprehensive Dental Exam – Every visit begins with a careful evaluation of your teeth and gums, checking for buildup and signs of early dental issues.
  • Gentle Scaling – Our hygienists use specialized tools to carefully remove tartar above and below the gumline without causing discomfort.
  • Polishing Treatment – Teeth are polished to smooth the surface, making it harder for plaque to stick and leaving your smile brighter.
  • Fluoride and Preventive Care – In some cases, fluoride treatments are recommended to strengthen enamel and protect against decay.
  • Personalized Home Care Guidance – We take time to share tips on brushing, flossing, and diet so you can keep plaque under control between visits.
