What to expect during a dental cleaning

A dental cleaning at The Junction Family Dental Care is a quick, comfortable, and essential part of your oral health routine. Our friendly dental hygienist begins by removing plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t eliminate, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. We make sure you feel at ease every step of the way, using gentle techniques and modern tools.

Next, your teeth are carefully polished to remove surface stains and leave your smile feeling fresh and smooth. We’ll also perform a gum health check to identify early signs of inflammation or other potential issues. If needed, one of our dentists will complete a full exam to ensure everything looks and functions as it should.

Before you leave, we’ll give you personalized tips on brushing and flossing tailored to your individual requirements to assist you in maintaining your smile healthy between visits.

Who are dental cleanings for?

Dental cleanings are essential for everyone, no matter your age or dental history. At The Junction Family Dental Care, we tailor each cleaning to your unique needs—whether you're visiting us for the first time or coming in for your routine checkup. Here’s how different patients benefit from professional cleanings:

Restore Your Smile

Children and teens

Regular cleanings help kids develop strong oral hygiene habits and prevent cavities during key growth stages.

Adults

Teeth cleanings remove plaque, refresh your smile, and help you maintain good oral health through life’s busy moments.

Seniors

As we age, gum health and tooth stability become more important. Dental cleanings help manage conditions like dry mouth and gum recession.

Patients with braces

Orthodontic appliances can trap food and plaque. Teeth cleanings reduce the risk of decay and keep your teeth healthy during treatment.

People with gum disease

More frequent cleanings help control inflammation, manage symptoms, and prevent further damage.

Anyone with a busy lifestyle

Even with good hygiene habits, professional cleanings reach areas your toothbrush can’t—making it a quick and effective health boost.

Benefits of our professional dental cleaning

Professional dental cleanings are more than a cosmetic refresh—they’re a vital step in protecting your oral health and overall well-being. At The Junction Family Dental Care, we combine expert care, advanced tools, and a gentle approach to help you keep your smile healthy, fresh, and confident.

A friend recommended this holistic dental practice to me after I expressed an interest in removing my mercury fillings. This is an excellent practice. Every staff member is stellar. My initial visit was a consult that included a thorough dental exam with saliva testing (to measure the pH levels) and panoramic X-rays. Morgan explained every aspect of the exam in full detail and was super friendly and gentle. I also met with Dr. Lee who was very good at explaining the amalgam removal process as well as the health benefits of it. He is super nice! I had a hygiene appointment a few weeks later with Morgan. It was a wonderful experience and very thorough that included cleaning, polishing, irrigation and an application of a special protective solution. I don’t enjoy going to the dentist but everyone in this practice (Karla, Georgia, Morgan and the dentists) make it so very pleasant. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for outstanding care and treatment. I can’t wait to return next week for my amalgam removal. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My toddler son had his first dental appointment, and I am so happy with the entire experience, from booking the appointment right until walking out the door. Initially when I called to inquire about this dental office I spoke with the receptionist Carla. I had a bit of a unique situation, but she went above and beyond to sort it all out. The dental hygienist Sharon made my son comfortable and made his first experience fun for him. The dentist Shanny Chang was also very patient and and made him feel comfortable. He is 3.5, so I was nervous about how he would react, but they put him at ease and made it a great experience for us. He even got a little toy once the appointment was over.
The facility is well maintained, clean and up to date. I am so happy to have found a dental office with a holistic approach, that provides excellent care. I highly recommend

I avoided dental care for 2 years due to past experiences, but Junction Family Dental Care turned it around for me. The staff made me feel safe and comfortable for my cleanings and fillings, with gentleness, kindness, appropriate pain management, and accomodations to make this dentistry a truly painless experience. They were compassionate and understanding of my past dental trauma, personal beliefs, excercise informed consent and never rush, belittle you, or use force. I now happily travel across the city for care at this clinic without the looming dread I once experienced regarding dental care and highly recommend them to anyone with a history of dental trauma, or for anyone else!

- Camille Dawson

I've been coming to this office for just over a year now. Everyone from the front desk to hygienists to dentists is a pleasure to work with. They help me navigate insurance claims and don't push for x-rays to an uncomfortable extent like other clinics do. They are also willing to accommodate me if/when I request a fluoride treatment at the end of a cleaning (as a holistic clinic, their default is fluoride free). I appreciate this because I may not have done my research before signing up as a patient and it can be expensive to change dentists 😅

- Sarah Kamalzadeh

I had an excellent experience with the Junction Family Dental Care team.
Their positive attitude made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. They were highly professional, caring, and attentive, ensuring I was comfortable throughout the appointment. Sharon took the time to explain everything clearly and was incredibly understanding of my needs. I truly appreciate their kindness and dedication to providing top-notch care. Highly recommend!

- Sarah Jfrnd

I recently made the switch from a conventional dentist to this holistic one. The full experience from onboarding my file, booking appointments, to being in the chair has been absolutely flawless and incredibly thorough. Carla has been very clear, concise and welcoming along with her talented colleagues who have examined my mouth health closely. I discovered that all staff are consistently learning through continued education which reflects in their progressive approach to dentistry. At the end of my first appointment, I expressed my effort to live with low waste practices, and was met with a zero-waste giveaway bag filled with eco-floss and a bamboo toothbrush in a reusable canvas bag. I am grateful for this practice and am very happy that I made the switch. I encouraged my partner, family and friends to also make the switch.

I am adding an additional review after a 5/5 visit once again. This is my 3rd time in and I continue to be amazed by the level of service and attention to detail. I absolutely love being able to visually review my appointment before and after photos :)

- Nicole Cesta

I recently started going to this dentist and let me tell you, they have been the most thorough, friendliest and easy to work with dentist that I've ever been to. I get lots of reminders for my appointments, they are usually able to accommodate my last minute requests which I frequently have since my life is very busy. Sharareh is my usual dentist and she has been absolutely wonderful! So gentle, kind and always asks me lots of questions to make sure all of my dental needs are met. If you're looking for a new dentist I highly recommend Junction Family Dental Care!!!

- Sunita Pace

My kids aren't big fans of having their teeth worked on, but they're not hesitant at the Junction. The aroma upon entry instantly calms you with the natural essential oils, and the always-friendly staff happily greets my family at every visit. They're learning to take better care of their teeth due to detailed instructions from their highly-trained hygienists and dentists that they can apply daily at home. It's always a bonus for us when they leave their appointments with no cavities!!

- S Simonelli

I am fortunate enough to have been getting dentistry work done all my life, but I have NEVER been to a dentist office that is this attentive and client focused. Every time I go I feel like I'm going to the spa. I have had cleaning, x-rays, and fillings done here and there is nowhere else (except for during massages) where I feel so looked after and prioritized. Thank you Junction Family Dental team. You guys are the absolute best.

- Willow Weber

Today was our first visit with my little one and I have to share this is such a wonderful place! From the moment I made my first call  - the entire staff is so kind, caring and patient. Truly a Holistic dental office- which is very important to me as well. I have decided to transfer my whole family to The Junction Family Dental office. Grateful to have found them! ♡

Dental Cleaning FAQs

Looking for "dental cleanings near me in Toronto"?

You're in the right place. We offer professional, gentle dental cleanings to keep your smile healthy and prevent future issues. Our clinic is conveniently located in Toronto and welcoming new patients. Book your appointment today!

Why are dental cleanings important?

Regular cleanings are essential to maintain oral health and prevent more serious problems. They help remove bacteria and buildup, reduce inflammation, and allow dental professionals to detect early signs of issues like decay or gum disease before they require extensive treatment.

What are the different types of dental cleanings?

Not all dental cleanings are the same—each is designed for a specific level of oral health.
There are a few common types:
• Prophylaxis (standard cleaning): for patients with healthy gums.
• Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning): for those with signs of gum disease.
• Periodontal maintenance: regular follow-up cleanings for patients with a history of gum issues. Each type is tailored to your oral health needs.

How often should you get your teeth cleaned?

Most people should have a cleaning every six months. However, if you have gum disease or higher risk factors, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits to maintain gum and tooth health.

Can teeth cleaning damage your teeth?

Not at all—when performed by professionals, dental cleanings are safe and beneficial. They do not wear down enamel or harm your teeth. On the contrary, they help prevent decay and infection while keeping your teeth and gums in top shape.

Why does dental cleaning hurt so much?

If you feel pain during a cleaning, it may be due to gum sensitivity, inflammation, or buildup of tartar. Our team uses gentle techniques and modern tools to make the process as comfortable as possible. Let us know if you're experiencing discomfort—we’ll adapt the care to your needs.

How long does a dental cleaning take?

Most cleanings take 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your oral health and whether extra procedures (like X-rays or fluoride) are included. We focus on providing efficient care without rushing, so you leave with a thorough, refreshed result.

How long after teeth cleaning can I eat?

You can usually eat right after your cleaning, especially if no fluoride treatment was applied. If fluoride was used, we recommend waiting 30 minutes so it can fully absorb into your enamel for maximum protection.

How much is dental cleaning in Ontario?

Costs vary, but most standard cleanings in Ontario range from $100 to $250, depending on your needs and the number of units cleaned. We’ll always provide a clear estimate before treatment and help you understand what’s covered by your plan.

How can I maintain good oral hygiene at home?

To keep your mouth healthy between cleanings:
• Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
Floss every day to clean between teeth
Limit sugary and acidic foods
• Drink water frequently
• Avoid smoking

Use mouthwash if recommended
• And most importantly: visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups
