A picture of Teeth Cleaning

At Wiregrass Smiles, we believe regular professional teeth cleanings are vital for maintaining healthy teeth and gums for life. By preventing plaque buildup and addressing oral health concerns early, these cleanings play a critical role in keeping your smile bright and disease-free.

Even with diligent at-home care, such as regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can still accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. Left untreated, this buildup can lead to cavities, gum disease, discoloration, and other issues. That’s why it’s important to visit your dentist for a professional cleaning (also known as a scale and polish) at least twice a year.

What To Expect

Dental cleanings are generally comfortable and straightforward. For patients with sensitive teeth or gums, a topical numbing gel can be applied to ensure a pleasant experience. If you experience dental anxiety or have a strong gag reflex, mild sedation options are also available to help you relax.

Here’s what to expect:

  1. Removing Plaque and Tartar: Your cleaning may begin with an ultrasonic tool to gently loosen plaque and tartar deposits. The dentist will then use fine hand instruments, such as scalers and curettes, to carefully remove buildup from the enamel and gumline.

  2. Polishing Your Smile: Once your teeth are clean, the dentist will polish them with a special toothpaste to leave your smile smooth and shiny.

  3. Personalized Oral Care Tips: After your cleaning, we’ll review your at-home care routine and provide tips to help you maintain healthy brushing and flossing habits.

Regular dental cleanings not only improve the health of your teeth and gums but also contribute to better overall health. Schedule your appointment at Wiregrass Smiles today and take the next step toward a healthier, brighter smile!

    FAQs For Cleanings

    Regular teeth cleanings are a pretty straightforward process

    Since a professional dental cleaning twice a year is considered a necessary preventative care procedure, most dental insurance carriers will cover 100% of the cost. Our office will check with your insurance company to determine the coverage before billing you directly.

    Don’t have insurance? It’s all good. Ask about our financing options. We will work with you on it because our ultimate goal is that you have healthy teeth and gums for life.

    To keep your teeth smooth and healthy, it is best to establish a home routine that includes brushing at least twice day and flossing at least once a day. The dentist may offers suggestions or specific instructions, like a special mouthwash or toothpaste to treat specific concerns. Be sure to schedule your next dental cleaning before leaving the office for six months or when the dentist recommends you return.

    If you neglect anything – whether it’s your house, your car, or your teeth – the harder and longer the cleaning becomes. Regular dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar that have built up over time to help you avoid gum disease, cavities, and infections. A cleaning also gets your teeth whiter and brighter by polishing the enamel and removing stains.

     

    Waiting too long between cleanings can lead to longer appointments and more invasive treatments. Get a professional cleaning today to save yourself time and trouble later.
