DENTAL CLEANINGS

A healthy smile starts with preventive care. At South Walker Dental, we provide gentle and thorough dental cleanings to keep your teeth clean, your gums healthy, and your smile bright. Our experienced team is committed to delivering comfortable, effective cleanings for patients of all ages. Whether it’s your first visit or a routine checkup, we are here to help you maintain excellent oral health.

Dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, are essential for removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains that brushing and flossing cannot reach. Professional cleanings play a key role in preventing cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.

At South Walker Dental, we use advanced tools and compassionate care to ensure every cleaning is both effective and comfortable. Cleanings are not just about appearances, they are an important part of long term oral health.

Your dental cleaning includes several important steps:

Plaque and Tartar Removal

Professional instruments are used to gently remove buildup around your teeth and gums.

Teeth Polishing

Your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and create a smooth finish.

Flossing and Rinsing

We thoroughly clean between your teeth and rinse away any remaining debris.

Dental Evaluation

A comprehensive check for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues may be performed by your dentist.

Fluoride Treatment (Optional)

For added protection, fluoride may be applied to strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of cavities.

Even with excellent at home care, plaque and tartar can still build up over time. Routine cleanings at South Walker Dental provide important benefits:

Prevention of Gum Disease 

Removes bacteria that cause gingivitis and periodontal disease

Cavity Protection 

Helps prevent tooth decay by eliminating harmful buildup

Fresher Breath 

Reduces odor causing bacteria

Early Detection

Identifies dental issues before they become complex or costly

For most patients, dental cleanings are recommended every six months. If you have specific concerns such as gum disease, braces, or a history of frequent cavities, our team may recommend more frequent visits. At South Walker Dental, we will help create a personalized schedule based on your unique needs.

• A brighter, healthier smile
• Reduced risk of gum disease and tooth decay
• Personalized, patient centered care
• A comfortable and modern environment

Together, these benefits ensure every visit to South Walker Dental leaves you feeling confident, cared for, and supported in your oral health.
