If you go to the dentist and ask them for a clean what exactly do they do? im curious .

They clean your teeth with an electric toothbrush and toothpaste and have you rinse it. They also scratch the plaque off of your teeth and in between. It is a thin tool. Then they make sure you have no cavities and you are good to go. If they notice anything unusual they will help you with it. Oh the person who cleans your teeth is the dental hygentist and the dentist checks your teeth for cavities. I love the dentist!!! :)
