Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. They are preventive dentistry treatments that go beyond simply keeping your teeth clean and white; they play a crucial role in preventing serious dental problems! Our professional cleanings can help you achieve a brighter smile, healthier gums, and a more confident appearance.

During your dental cleanings in Raleigh, NC, we’ll meticulously remove plaque, tartar, and any other harmful debris from your teeth and gums. We also examine your mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Teeth cleanings are usually done during your routine dental check-up.

Keep Your Smile Healthy with Regular Care

The top two reasons adults lose teeth are cavities and gum disease, which is why, on top of a good oral hygiene routine, regular professional teeth cleaning appointments are so crucial. Even the best daily brushing and flossing won’t get every bit of plaque between teeth and along the gum lines, and that plaque eventually hardens into tartar. Professional cleaning gets rid of all that tartar and keeps your teeth and gums on track to stay healthy.

The Frequency of Your Cleanings

In general, patients should schedule basic cleaning appointments twice a year, but it’s important to talk to Dr. Preston about your individual dental health needs. Patients with risk factors for developing gum disease may need more frequent cleanings and diabetic patients often require as many as four cleanings per year to fight back against the attendant oral health difficulties.
