Dental Cleaning and Checkups in Brooklyn, NY

Good oral hygiene is essential for maintaining a healthy smile. In addition to brushing and flossing your teeth every day, you should also see your dentist twice a year for a professional cleaning and checkup. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that your toothbrush cannot reach.

What Is Dental Cleaning?

A dental cleaning is a routine procedure that removes plaque and calculus from your teeth to prevent cavities, gingivitis, and other oral health issues. Most adults should have a cleaning every six months. However, more frequent cleanings may be recommended if you have certain conditions or are at risk for gum disease.

During a cleaning, our dentist will use special instruments to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surface of your teeth. Then, we will polish your teeth to create a smooth, clean surface. This entire process usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete.

Some patients may be nervous about visiting the dentist for a cleaning. But it’s important to remember that our dentist is a trained professional who has spent years practicing their trade. We’ll use a gentle touch as we clean your teeth to ensure a comfortable experience. Plus, we can answer any questions that you may have about your oral care regimen or certain treatments.

Why Do I Need Dental Cleaning?

The plaque and tartar that accumulate on your teeth can cause cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and more. Regular dental cleanings and exams can help prevent these problems and keep your smile healthy.

During your cleaning, our hygienist will use special instruments to gently remove the plaque from above and below the gum line. Then, they will polish the teeth to help remove stains and make your smile shine. Also, we offer fluoride treatments to strengthen and protect your teeth.

Is Professional Dental Cleaning Expensive?

Dental cleanings are affordable and are usually covered by most dental insurance plans. A deep cleaning may be recommended if it’s been longer than six months since your last professional cleaning and you have signs of gum disease. By visiting the dentist twice a year, you can ensure that your teeth are as clean as possible, and you’ll have a brighter smile. In any case, dental cleaning is quite affordable and easy on the pocket.
