Dental Cleanings

Healthy, Beautiful Smiles For The Whole Family

Even if you brush your teeth twice a day, floss and rinse regularly, it is still crucial you visit us for routine dental cleanings. Your regular dental check-up is not just to make your teeth pearly white, but it is also an important aspect of preventative care, as it ensures your teeth and gums are healthy. Rest assured, our compassionate team is here to make your visit with us a pleasant and positive one!

Benefits Of Dental Cleanings

A professional dental cleaning service is part of your regular dental care that everyone should get in order to maintain exceptional oral health. The goal is to improve and maintain your dental hygiene while checking to make sure no oral health problems exist. In fact, studies have linked poor oral health to several serious illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and respiratory infections. In addition to improving your whole-body health, here are some other key benefits:

  • Reduces risk of developing cavities

  • Prevents gum disease

  • Can help detect early oral cancer

  • Improves overall health and wellness

  • Minimizes bad breath

  • Checks for bite problems or TMJ disorders

The Power of Oral Health

The Process Of A Professional Dental Cleaning

At Marc A. Minch, DMD, we strive to exceed your expectations in dental care by utilizing a holistic approach–ensuring your dental cleaning is a positive experience. Dental cleanings are extremely important in maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. When you visit us, our dental hygienists will take excellent care of your teeth to ensure you leave here confident in your smile. We want to be transparent with our patients and believe if you know what to expect during the process, it may ease your stress and allow you to better enjoy the fresh, dazzling results!

Our team uses special instruments to remove plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. This step is significant because by getting rid of bacteria, you are reducing your risk of developing cavities and gum disease.

Next, our team will polish your teeth using a small device and a special paste to make your teeth feel super smooth, clean and white.

As you should at home as part of your oral care routine, we will floss in between your teeth to make sure all those grooves and hard to reach areas are clear of any food particles or bacteria.

We may take X-rays of your mouth to monitor your health or to treat any dental conditions. Most people need dental X-rays taken every 6 to 36 months depending on their situation.

One of our dentists will perform a full evaluation of your mouth, teeth and jaw. If they spot any concerns, like cavities or periodontal disease, they will discuss possible treatment plans with you.

We believe early prevention is key when it comes to oral cancer screening. Our team prioritizes this step in your routine dental cleaning and it only takes a few minutes. Our doctors will examine your mouth and throat to look for any signs or symptoms such as red patches, sores or lumps. Dr. Minch or Dr. Newton will also assess the health of your tongue to check for any swelling or abnormalities.

How Often Do I Need A Dental Cleaning?

The American Dental Association recommends you receive a dental cleaning every 6 months. At Marc A. Minch, DMD, we believe a professional dental hygiene appointment twice a year is optimal to check in and make sure your oral health is up to par. Your at home oral care routine is important, but it does not always get rid of stubborn plaque, bacteria and biofilm residue like a professional dental cleaning will.

When Should My Baby First Visit The Dentist?

If you are a parent wondering when is the right time to bring your child in for their first dental visit, we recommend children come in for a dental check-up by their first birthday. Establish a dental home for your child earlier in life rather than later. This allows our team to track and monitor the development of your child’s mouth and jaw, while also allowing them to get comfortable with us.
