Cleanings in Fort Wayne, IN

Your smile deserves the best care. Regular cleanings prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. Our thorough process includes gentle polishing to remove surface stains, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and looking their best.

Benefits of Regular Cleanings

  • Plaque and Tartar Removal: Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Regular cleanings remove this buildup, preventing decay and gum disease.
  • Stain Removal: Our cleanings help remove surface stains from foods, drinks, and smoking, giving your teeth a brighter appearance.
  • Fresh Breath: Professional cleanings help eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling fresh.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning

  • Scaling: We use special tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially in areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush.
  • Polishing: After scaling, we polish your teeth to remove surface stains and make your smile shine.
  • Fluoride Treatment: To strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities, we may apply a fluoride treatment after your cleaning.

FAQs About Dental Cleanings

We recommend professional cleanings every six months to maintain optimal oral health. Your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings if you have specific dental concerns.

Most patients find cleanings comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth, we can make adjustments to ensure your comfort.

Brushing and flossing are essential, but they can’t remove all plaque and tartar. Professional cleanings reach areas that your toothbrush and floss can’t, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.
