Types of Cleanings
Dental cleanings are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each type is designed to address your unique oral health requirements and current condition.
Standard cleanings maintain general oral health through thorough plaque and tartar removal for patients with healthy gums. Laser cleanings provide comfortable, pain-free treatment using advanced technology for those who experience sensitivity during traditional cleanings. Deep cleanings become necessary when treating gum disease, requiring specialized techniques to clean below the gum line and remove bacterial buildup. Periodontal maintenance helps manage ongoing gum disease with regular, targeted care to prevent progression.
Your dentist will personalize your dental cleaning approach based on your individual oral health assessment, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment for your specific needs and oral health goals.
Preventative Dentistry & Cleanings
A successful preventive dental program is a team effort involving you, your dentist, and their staff. The goal is protecting your natural teeth from decay, gum disease, and other problems before they develop.
At-home care includes consistent brushing and flossing to remove daily plaque buildup. Professional exams and cleanings reach areas your home care cannot while detecting issues early. Additional treatments like sealants and fluoride provide extra protection based on your individual needs.
Prevention is the most effective approach to maintaining oral health and avoiding costly treatments later. Regular cleanings are one essential part of keeping your smile healthy and your confidence high.
