Dental Cleanings at Atlantic Dental Center
Keep Your Smile Sparkling
A healthy smile starts with regular, professional cleanings. Our dedicated hygienists are committed to providing thorough and gentle dental cleanings, helping you maintain optimal oral health and helping prevent future dental problems.
Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Professional dental cleanings are essential for:
Removing Plaque and Tartar
These substances can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
Preventing Gum Disease
Regular cleanings help prevent gingivitis and periodontitis, which can cause tooth loss and negatively impact many other systemic conditions throughout the body.
Maintaining Healthy Gums
Cleanings remove bacteria that irritate and inflame gum tissues, which are the foundation to healthy teeth.
Brightening Your Smile
Removing surface stains and polishing your teeth can leave your smile looking brighter and more refreshed.
Early Detection of Dental Problems
Cleanings provide an opportunity for our team to identify potential issues, such as cavities or gum disease, before they become painful or lead to tooth loss.
