Dental cleanings use professional-grade equipment to not only clean the surface of the teeth but also to go where normal toothbrushes can’t – below the gum line. It is below the gum line where infections can develop, which can lead to a whole host of issues and conditions. When the highly acclaimed dentists at Washington Center for Dentistry perform dental cleanings, they aren’t just doing it to leave patients with whiter, better-looking teeth. Even though a more dazzling smile is obviously a result, dental cleanings help keep a patient’s mouth and entire body healthier in the long-run.
Of course, our patients want the whitest, brightest, most dazzling smiles possible, but our dental cleanings go beyond that. In fact, they go beneath that—beneath the gum line to where at-home toothbrushes just can’t reach. Our dental cleanings:
Clean below the gum line where our toothbrush can’t reach to get the bacteria that can turn into problem-causing infections.
Preserve and keep teeth longer by preventing tooth decay and cavities.
Prevent mouth plaque from migrating throughout the vascular system.
Prevent stains from building up on the enamel.
Maintain lighter, whiter, younger-looking teeth.
After a thorough and refreshing dental cleaning, it’s important to protect the teeth to prolong that wonderful look and feeling. A patient should follow good oral care and hygiene, which includes:

Avoid all of these problems with our superior dental cleaning. Your mouth will thank you! Call us today to schedule your appointment for a one-of-a-kind cleaning.
Before your teeth cleaning, our dental team will evaluate your teeth to assess their sensitivity and the level of plaque buildup. While a dental cleaning is generally not painful, you may experience some sensitivity if you have advanced buildup or tender gums. If you have concerns about the health of your teeth or gums, we encourage you to contact our Washington, D.C. office to schedule an appointment.
We recommend avoiding acidic, spicy, or heavily seasoned foods on the day of your cleaning, as they may cause mild sensitivity or irritation. Our dentists will provide detailed guidance on why these foods should be avoided and suggest options you can enjoy comfortably.
It is important to have a daily dental cleaning routine at home in addition to your annual teeth cleanings. This includes brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily. Ask our dentists at your next appointment for detailed instructions on how to brush and floss your teeth properly.
