Keep Your Smile Strong & Healthy!

Regular teeth cleanings and checkups are key to keeping your mouth healthy. Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that can lead to cavities, gum disease, and bad breath—reaching spots your toothbrush and floss might miss.

These visits also give your dentist and hygienist a chance to catch potential issues early, helping you avoid painful or expensive treatments down the road.

Plus, routine cleanings naturally brighten your smile by removing surface stains from coffee, tea, and other foods—no whitening treatments needed!

He has been my dentist for a few years now. I am so happy I switched from my previous dentist.

Overall very happy with Dr. Rakita.

Absolutely amazing dentist and staff! I’ve always been weary of dentists, after some bad experiences, but he is awesome. Thorough, honest and genuinely kind. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Vanessa Van Dyke

There are professionals who act nice because they have to - and then there are people like Dr. Rakita who are genuinely kind and caring.

I felt like I was seen as a person and not just a mouth. Dr Rakita explained things to me very clearly and patiently, and was not alarmist. I felt genuine warmth. The assistant was also very kind and patient.

Erez Zukerman

As someone with a lot of anxiety in day-to-day life going to the dentist is almost traumatic for me.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rakita and his staff. Not only did he take his time to help me calm down and help me relax but he also explained everything in terms I could understand.

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get a dentist.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings

What is the cost of teeth cleaning in Kitchener?

The cost of a teeth cleaning at Rakita Family Dentistry depends on a few factors! Things such as your current oral health and condition may impact the pricing. Once you become a regular patient with more consistent checkups, you can expect steady pricing for teeth cleaning. Please contact us to see exactly how much it be here.

How Frequently Should I Have a Teeth Cleaning?

We generally advise scheduling a dental cleaning and checkup every six months. However, if you have unique dental concerns or your dentist recommends more frequent visits, we can adjust the timing to suit your needs. If financial or insurance considerations come into play, we’re happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits.

Will Teeth Cleaning Remove Stains?

Absolutely! Professional cleanings can lift surface stains from coffee, tea, and smoking, leaving your teeth looking brighter. For deeper stains, however, whitening treatments may be needed.

Does a dental cleaning hurt?

Teeth cleanings are usually painless, but you might experience mild sensitivity or discomfort if you have gum inflammation or excessive tartar buildup. Your hygienist can adjust the procedure to ensure a more comfortable experience.

Can I Eat Right After a Dental Teeth Cleaning?

You can eat right away although we typically recommend you avoid food and drink for 30 minutes after a thorough cleaning. Especially if you have had a fluoride treatment. Especially avoid acidic or abrasive consumables right after a teeth cleaning!
