Dental Cleaning in Sainte-Julie
Protect your smile with a complete dental cleaning
At AM Denturologiste in Sainte-Julie, we offer professional dental cleaning services to maintain your optimal oral health. Regular cleaning prevents cavities, gum disease and ensures the longevity of your natural teeth.
What Is a Dental Cleaning?
Professional dental cleaning, also called scaling and polishing, is an essential preventive treatment that removes:
- Dental plaque accumulated between teeth and below the gum line
- Hardened tartar that cannot be removed with daily brushing
- Surface stains caused by coffee, tea or tobacco
- Bacteria responsible for periodontal disease
Our team uses specialized instruments to deep clean areas that are difficult to access during home brushing.
Why Have Regular Dental Cleanings?
Prevention of Dental Problems
A dental cleaning every 6 to 12 months allows you to:
- Prevent cavities and infections
- Reduce the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis
- Detect potential problems early
- Maintain healthy, pink gums
A Brighter Smile
Polishing restores the natural shine of your teeth by removing stains and tartar deposits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is dental cleaning painful?
No, professional dental cleaning is generally painless. You may feel slight sensitivity if your gums are inflamed or if you have a lot of tartar buildup.
Can I eat after a dental cleaning?
Yes, you can eat immediately afterward. We recommend avoiding highly coloured foods (coffee, red wine) for a few hours to maximize the effect of polishing.
What is the difference between scaling and cleaning?
Scaling removes hardened tartar, while a complete cleaning includes scaling, polishing and the oral exam.
Are cleanings covered by RAMQ?
For adults, dental cleanings are generally not covered by RAMQ, but most private insurance plans offer partial or full coverage.
