Cleaning & Prevention
Regular dental care doesn't just keep your teeth clean — it catches problems early, protects your gums, and saves you from pain and cost down the track.
Cleaning and Prevention · Adelaide CBD Dentist
A cleaner smile. A healthier mouth.
Regular dental cleans and check-ups help stop small problems from turning into painful or expensive ones.
At Brighter Smiles Centre, your Adelaide CBD dentist will remove hardened plaque, polish your teeth and check your gums, teeth and mouth while you are here.
At home
What keeps your teeth on track?
Simple daily habits help your professional clean last longer and keep your gums healthier between visits.
Brush well
Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush twice a day.
Clean between teeth
Floss daily or use interdental brushes if they suit you better.
Keep your recall
Regular visits help catch issues before they become bigger.
Your appointment
More than a quick polish.
A professional clean is also a chance to check your teeth, gums and any areas you may be missing at home.
If it has been a while since your last clean, that is okay. The best time to get back on track is now.

Cleaning and prevention FAQs
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Most people benefit from a dental clean and check-up every six months.
Does a dental clean hurt?
Most cleans are comfortable. If your gums are sensitive, let us know and we will take it slowly.
Can a clean whiten my teeth?
A clean can remove surface stains and make teeth look brighter, but it will not change the natural tooth shade.
Can tartar be removed at home?
No. Once plaque hardens into tartar, it needs to be removed professionally.
Why do my gums bleed?
Bleeding gums are often linked to plaque and inflammation. A check-up can help find the cause.
