Importance of Dental Cleanings

Even if you are brushing and flossing your teeth perfectly at home, professional bi-annual dental cleanings are still vital. A teeth cleaning at our Manhattan East Village office will give our dental team the opportunity to identify any areas of concern in the mouth that might require treatment and catch any concerning issues as early as possible. Using state-of-the-art equipment, a bi-annual professional cleaning eliminates built-up tartar and plaque and then polishes the enamel for a brighter, healthier smile. During your treatment, you can ask for tips on better home oral care and discover any areas that need more attention at home. Getting a professional dental cleaning is a vital step in maintaining your oral health, so make an appointment for yourself and your family at Highland Family Dental.

Do I Need a Dental Cleaning?

The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends professional dental cleanings two times per year. Infants should have a dental exam before their first birthday and, after that, we will help you determine when your child is old enough for their next appointment. A professional dental cleaning may help you avoid cavities since plaque buildup, the biggest cause of tooth decay, is removed. A cleaning will also remove stains and tartar on your teeth.
