Teeth Cleaning in Houston Heights
Professional teeth cleaning is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your smile healthy for life. Even with excellent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar still build up in hard‑to‑reach areas, increasing your risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Routine cleanings gently remove this buildup and keep your gums healthy and strong.
At Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights, Dr. Rouhani and our hygiene team combine advanced tools with a gentle, personalized approach. Your cleaning visit is designed to be thorough yet comfortable — giving you a fresher, brighter smile while also allowing us to catch small issues early, before they become bigger or more expensive problems.

How the Teeth Cleaning Process Works
Why professional cleanings matter
Teeth cleaning at Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights removes the plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing miss, keeping your gums healthy and your smile bright. Dr. Sanaz Rouhani, DDS, FAGD, and the hygiene team pair a gentle, thorough cleaning with an exam, so small problems are caught early, before they become bigger or more costly.
Prevent gum disease
Tartar along the gumline inflames the gums; removing it keeps them healthy.
Prevent decay
Clearing buildup from hard-to-reach spots lowers your risk of cavities.
Brighter teeth
Polishing lifts surface stains from food and drink.
Fresher breath
Less plaque and bacteria means fresher breath.
Routine cleaning vs. deep cleaning
If your gums need more than a routine cleaning, see gum disease treatment.
What happens, step by step
Exam
Dr. Rouhani checks your teeth and gums for early signs of decay or infection, using digital X-rays and an intraoral camera when needed.
Gentle scaling
Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and below the gumline with ultrasonic and manual instruments.
Polishing
Your teeth are smoothed and polished to brighten your smile and help slow future buildup.
Fluoride, if you want it
A fluoride treatment can be applied to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity. See fluoride treatment.
How often should you have a cleaning?
Most people benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. Depending on your gum health and history, Dr. Rouhani may recommend more frequent visits.

Due for a cleaning?
Teeth cleaning questions, answered
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Most people benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. If you have a history of gum problems, Dr. Rouhani may recommend more frequent visits.
Does a teeth cleaning hurt?
A routine cleaning is typically comfortable. The team works gently and can adjust if you have sensitive teeth or gums.
What is the difference between a cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A routine cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar from healthy teeth and gums. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats gum disease by cleaning further beneath the gumline.
Will a cleaning whiten my teeth?
Polishing removes surface stains from food and drink, so teeth often look brighter. For a whiter shade, see professional teeth whitening.
Do I need X-rays at every cleaning?
Not always. Digital X-rays are taken when they are needed to check for problems that cannot be seen during the exam.
Is a cleaning covered by insurance?
Preventive cleanings are often covered by PPO plans. The practice accepts most major PPO plans, and the Clio Care Plan is available if you do not have insurance.
