Dental Cleanings in Middletown

Why are dental cleanings important?

Your busy life makes it easy to put off regular dental cleanings. You may even be wondering why you need a cleaning every six months when you’re diligent about your brushing and flossing routine. The answer is simple. While at-home habits are important, professional dental cleanings allow a deeper clean that can’t be reached with a regular toothbrush. Moreover, they also allow us to catch problems before they become complicated, costly, and time-consuming. If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while, or you need a new dental home, we are here to help ensure you have a healthy, happy smile.

The Benefits of Dental Cleanings

Prevent Common Oral Health Issues

Tooth decay is the #1 most common preventable oral health condition in dental patients of all ages. The good news is that with a healthy diet, good oral habits, and routine visits to the dentist, cavities are completely avoidable.

Saves Time & Money

Dental cleanings make it less likely to have problems like cavities, infected teeth, or gum disease. That means you won’t have to pay for procedures like fillings, crowns, or periodontal care, stopping you from more dental appointments later on.

Fresher Breath & Brighter Smile

Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up. This contributes to bad breath and a dimmer smile. Dental cleanings clear away and polish plaque build-up which eliminates stains caused by food and beverages. As a result, you can enjoy a brighter smile and fresher breath.

The Dental Cleaning Process

Comprehensive Exam

Comprehensive Exam

A thorough exam that considers your teeth, gums, and overall oral health is the first step. We may use a small mirror or dental probe and any necessary X-rays to check for signs of cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues. The exam helps us identify specific areas that require special attention during your cleaning.

Once your exam is complete, our team will begin your cleaning. This includes removing plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and along the gumline.

Polish Your Teeth

Polish Your Teeth

After we clear away plaque from your teeth, we will polish your pearly whites with a rotating brush and a gritty substance called prophylaxis paste. This polishes your teeth and removes stains. Additionally, we will professionally floss between your teeth to remove any lingering debris from the hard-to-reach crevices of your smile.

I have been going to Apollonia for many years and they have always been very caring, knowledgeable and helpful. I am somewhat anxious and they have always been patient and answered any question I had. They really do go out of their way to be accommodating. The staff and Dr. McGrath are great!

And their attention to help me immediately, I was seen an hour after my call, and one hour later, they assisted me with my problem. I would recommend my family and friends to Apollonia. Thanks for great service. Respectfully Jose Vazquez
