What Is A
Dental Cleaning?

We prioritize preventive oral care to maintain optimal dental health. Besides your everyday brushing and flossing routine, basic dental cleanings and checkups are an essential part of a healthy smile. Our skilled dental hygienists utilize specialized instruments to gently eliminate plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gums that isn’t removable with at-home care. This not only enhances the appearance of your smile, but it also plays a vital role in preventing serious oral health issues such as gum disease and tooth decay.

Essential Health
Benefits of Dental
Cleanings

The team at Washington Square Dental knows that for many people, going in for a dental checkup and teeth cleaning can feel like a hassle. However, the benefits of routine cleanings and checkups are numerous and essential for maintaining optimal oral health.
  • Early Detection : Dental exams are vital opportunities to spot early signs of tooth and gum disease.
  • Cost-Effective: Teeth cleanings are affordable visits, covered by most insurance plans, that can prevent more expensive restorative care down the line.
  • Fresher Breath: The removal of bacteria buildup from the surface of teeth and near the gumline helps freshen your smile and prevent halitosis (persistent bad breath).
  • Enhanced Appearance: Cleanings remove surface stains and plaque for a brighter, more attractive smile.
  • Oral Cancer Screening: Our dentists will be on the lookout for any oral cancer symptoms, catching the disease in its earliest stage for simpler, potentially life-saving, treatment.

Fluoride Treatments
and Dental Sealants

During your visit, we offer extra protection treatments to safeguard your teeth against decay and maintain optimal oral health with fluoride and dental sealants. Our dental hygienists use dental-grade fluoride treatments to strengthen your enamel against bacteria. Fluoride care can even reverse minor damage by remineralizing the tooth. Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings brushed across larger molars and premolars. They act as a protective barrier, preventing bacteria from infiltrating the pits and grooves of your teeth. These preventive measures are seamlessly incorporated into your visit, ensuring years of lasting protection.
