Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health and preventing serious dental problems. At Grand View Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Stephen Moore, Dr. Nathan Hoftiezer and Dr. Monika Kraft and our experienced hygienists provide thorough, gentle dental cleanings that help keep your teeth and gums healthy. Our comprehensive cleaning services remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that daily brushing and flossing can’t eliminate, ensuring your smile stays bright and healthy.
The Importance of Professional Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings offer numerous benefits beyond what home care can achieve. Plaque and tartar removal prevents cavities and gum disease, while early detection of dental issues allows for prompt treatment before problems become serious. Regular cleanings also help prevent bad breath, remove surface stains for a brighter smile, and contribute to overall health by reducing bacteria that can affect your cardiovascular system. Our caring team at Grand View Family and Cosmetic Dentistry ensures each cleaning is comfortable and thorough, providing personalized attention to address your specific oral health needs.
What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning
During your dental cleaning appointment, our skilled hygienists begin with a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums. Using specialized instruments, we carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from all tooth surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas below the gum line. Your teeth are then polished to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel. We conclude with a fluoride treatment to strengthen your teeth and provide additional protection against decay. Your dentist will review your cleaning results and discuss any findings or recommendations for maintaining your oral health between visits.
