About Dental Cleaning
What is a dental cleaning?
Although you have good oral hygiene practices at home, tartar and plaque still develop over time — the kind that daily brushing alone can’t reach. A dental cleaning is a professional treatment that removes these accumulations and prevent oral problems. Our team gently cleans above and below the gum line, then polishes each tooth for a smooth, fresh finish.
Full Mouth cleaning are essential in keeping your teeth and gums healthy. It not only brightens your smile but also prevents gum disease, catch small problems before they grow, and keep your breath fresh. It’s the simplest, most cost-effective way to protect your long-term oral health. We recommend it every six months for adults and children alike.
At Arrow Dental Centre, we provide professional dental cleaning to provide you and your family with the optimal and comprehensive oral health care that you deserve.
Ultrasonic Scaling & Air-Flow Polishing

Your options
Cleaning options for every need
Every mouth is different. We tailor the cleaning approach to your specific oral health, staining level, and comfort preference.
- Routine Cleaning (Basic Scaling and Polishing): This is the standard six‑monthly cleaning recommended for most patients. It gently removes tartar, plaque, and surface stains in a single 30–45 minute visit, leaving your teeth smoother, healthier, and easier to keep clean at home.
- Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing) : Designed for patients with gum disease or heavy tartar build‑up below the gum line, this treatment goes beyond the surface. By carefully cleaning the roots of your teeth, it helps stop infection, reduce inflammation, and protect against further bone or gum loss. Typically completed over two visits within two weeks, it’s a vital step in restoring gum health.
- Braces & Bridge Cleaning: Orthodontic appliances, bridges, and implant crowns require extra attention. Our specialized techniques reach around wires, brackets, and prosthetics to remove hidden plaque and food particles.

My family and I visited the CPA Centre branch for our check-ups. The staff were amazing with my kids, making them laugh and feel comfortable.

I had a great experience during my dental checkup. The team was very timely and professional, which made the whole visit smooth and stress-free. The dentist was amazing—friendly, thorough, and took time to explain everything clearly. I also had an X-ray and dental cleaning done, and both were handled with great care. Highly recommend their services!

Common questions
Implant FAQs
What happens during a dental cleaning?
We gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gum line, then polish the surfaces to leave them smooth and clean. The whole process is comfortable and usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.
How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
We recommend a professional cleaning every six months for most adults and children. If you have gum issues or wear braces, we may suggest more frequent visits.
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
No. Cleanings are gentle and painless. Some patients with sensitive gums may feel mild tenderness, which settles within a day.
How much does a dental cleaning cost in Kenya?
Full mouth cleaning and scaling at Arrow Dental starts from KES 6,000. The exact cost depends on your mouth’s condition, as an assessment will determine if additional treatment is needed beyond the standard cleaning.
What are Scaling and Root Planing?
Scaling and root planing are also known as deep cleaning. This procedure is recommended for people with signs of periodontitis. Deep cleaning involves two steps. The first step is teeth scaling which involves the dentist removing plaque and tartar above and below the gum line and cleaning to the bottom of the gum pocket. The second step is root planing which involves smoothing out the roots of the teeth to reattach the gums to the teeth. A deep cleaning procedure may take more than a single appointment to complete.
Can my child have a dental cleaning?
Yes. We offer gentle, child-friendly cleanings for ages 2 and up. Our pediatric team makes the experience calm and even fun.
Will my teeth look whiter after a cleaning?
A routine cleaning removes surface staining from tea, coffee, and tobacco, so teeth often look noticeably brighter. For deeper whitening, we offer professional teeth whitening as a separate procedure.
Can I eat straight after a cleaning?
Yes. There’s no recovery time. We may suggest avoiding very hot or very cold foods for a few hours if your gums feel sensitive.
