Dental Cleaning in Canada

3032 verified clinics across Canada

Regular professional cleanings (scaling and polishing) remove plaque and tartar that brushing can't reach, preventing cavities and gum disease. Most Canadians benefit from a cleaning and checkup every six months. A typical visit includes scaling, polishing, a dental exam, and sometimes fluoride or X-rays. Cleanings are among the most affordable and high-value dental services, and are widely covered by insurance and the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
