Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?

Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and even health issues like heart disease. Professional cleanings also freshen your breath and brighten your smile while allowing your dentist to detect potential issues early—saving you discomfort and money later.

At Fortson Dentistry in Milford, Dr. Cory Fortson and Dr. Charlotte Kroll provide gentle, thorough cleanings tailored to your needs and long-term oral health. Book your dental cleaning today and keep your smile shining!

Types of Dental Cleanings We Offer

Your cleaning will depend on the condition of your gums and teeth.

Preventive Dental Cleaning

A gentle cleaning every six months removes plaque, tartar, and stains to help prevent gum disease and cavities, keeping your smile healthy.

Deep Cleaning

Ideal for gum disease, this treatment removes tartar below the gumline to help prevent bone loss and receding gums, promoting healthier support for your teeth.

Periodontal Maintenance

This follow-up to deep cleaning is done every 3–4 months to prevent reinfection and maintain gum health for patients with a history of periodontal disease.

What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning

When you visit Fortson Dentistry, you’ll receive a thorough cleaning and oral health checkup.

Dental Exam & Screening

We review your dental and health history, check for cavities or damage, assess your bite and jaw alignment, and examine any existing restorations, gums, and soft tissues for early signs of disease.

Professional Teeth Cleaning

We remove plaque and tartar with a scaler, polish your teeth for a smooth finish, floss to clear remaining buildup, and apply fluoride if needed to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.

Caring for Your Smile at Home

Maintaining a healthy smile starts with brushing twice daily using fluoride toothpaste and flossing to clean between teeth and along the gumline. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks to reduce the risk of decay. Good home care is most effective when paired with regular dental visits. Seeing your dentist every six months helps catch issues early and keeps your teeth clean, strong, and cavity-free.

At Fortson Dentistry, we’re here to support your smile every step of the way with personalized care and guidance for the whole family. Need a checkup? Call us to schedule your next dental visit!
