Your cleaning will depend on the condition of your gums and teeth.
A gentle cleaning every six months removes plaque, tartar, and stains to help prevent gum disease and cavities, keeping your smile healthy.
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.
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.
Routine dental cleanings are essential—not just for a bright smile, but for overall health and wellness. At Fortson Dentistry, our team provides gentle, thorough cleanings to help prevent gum disease, cavities, and other dental issues.
When you visit Fortson Dentistry, you’ll receive a thorough cleaning and oral health checkup.
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.
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.
"I came to Fortson Dentistry of Milford today. I have known the Fortson family for quite some time and they are great people! I needed pictures taken of my teeth today and also needed a cleaning. Jen was the dentist I visited today and she did a great job! My mouth feels the cleanest it has in a while."
