Dental Cleanings
Richardson, TX

Regular dental cleanings are essential to remove stubborn plaque and tartar that house harmful bacteria. Neglecting these issues can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and other serious damage.

If it has been a long time since your last professional cleaning, you may experience gum bleeding during the cleaning process. Rest assured that our hygienists are gentle and will proceed at a pace that suits your comfort. In case your mouth feels slightly sore after the cleaning, you can alleviate the discomfort by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever.

During your dental cleaning appointment, our dental hygienist will carefully evaluate the condition of your gums to check for any signs of recession or periodontal pocketing. They will then skillfully remove plaque and tartar from the areas around your gum line and between your teeth. After the tartar is eliminated, an advanced electric brush will be used to thoroughly polish your teeth. The hygienist will also floss between your teeth. As part of your visit, we always include an oral cancer screening. If you are prone to cavities or experience chronic tooth sensitivity, we may also suggest a prescription fluoride treatment or mouthwash.

We are pleased to inform you that your dental insurance typically provides full coverage for your biannual dental cleanings.
