Dental Cleanings and Exams

Dental cleanings are noninvasive, relaxing, and never painful. In fact, you may find reclining in our comfy dental chair pleasant!

Your Comprehensive Dental Cleaning

Our hygienist uses special tools to clear plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the teeth, including difficult-to-reach locations at the back of the mouth. The hygienist is also looking for gum recession and other potential issues. All findings will be reported to the dentist, and then you’ll have a conversation to discuss the issue. Your teeth cleaning in South Charlotte, NC, can take up to an hour, depending on the severity of debris buildup.

After cleaning your teeth thoroughly, we finish with a polish. Your hygienist may also provide a fluoride treatment if your enamel is at-risk for potential issues like decay.

Then it’s time to ask questions or share your concerns with the hygienist. In turn, the hygienist can provide advice for at-home brushing and flossing practices or discuss rinses to keep your smile healthy between six-month checkups and teeth cleanings.
