Dental Cleaning

Choosing a new dentist can feel overwhelming, but your first appointment is designed to be simple and informative. This initial visit helps establish your care, introduces you to our team, and familiarizes you with our office and procedures.

During your first appointment, we will review your medical history, perform a comprehensive dental exam, and typically take digital X-rays. A professional cleaning is also completed to ensure your teeth and gums are in optimal condition.

The Cleaning

A routine dental cleaning is an essential part of maintaining your oral health. While some patients may feel apprehensive, the process is gentle, thorough, and designed to keep your smile healthy.

A tooth cleaning is broken down by dental hygienists:

• Oral Evaluation: A careful examination of your teeth and gums to identify any concerns such as plaque buildup or early signs of gum disease.
• Plaque and Tartar Removal: Specialized instruments are used to remove buildup that cannot be addressed with regular brushing alone.
• Professional Cleaning and Polishing: A high-quality dental paste and polishing tools are used to clean and smooth the surfaces of your teeth.
• Flossing: Thorough flossing removes debris and helps assess gum health.
• Rinse: A final rinse clears away any remaining particles.
• Fluoride Treatment: When recommended, fluoride is applied to strengthen enamel and help protect against cavities.
