Contact UsWhat are Professional Dental Cleanings?
Even if you have a perfect oral hygiene routine at home, it is still essential for you to schedule a professional dental cleaning at Fort Loramie Dental Center twice a year. Using state-of-the-art equipment, a biannual professional cleaning eliminates built-up tartar and plaque while polishing the enamel for a brighter, healthier smile. During your appointment, you can get tips on better home oral care and discover any areas that need more attention. A dental cleaning will allow Dr. Christopher Ashby to identify any areas of concern in the mouth that may require care. Professional cleaning is a crucial step in maintaining your dental health so schedule an appointment for yourself and your family at our Fort Loramie, OH location.
What To Expect from Professional Dental Cleanings
Your cleaning will start by removing the tartar and plaque that have built up on your enamel, which is hard to remove on your own with daily brushing and flossing. Special tools are used to carefully scale buildup without affecting the enamel. A device with ultrasonic technology breaks up bigger chunks of plaque and tartar with a lubricating mist and high-speed vibrations. Next, handheld tools, such as a scaler or curette, will remove any remaining buildup. Each tooth needs to be treated individually to treat all the buildup. Once your teeth are clean, your enamel will be polished to remove stains. A professional fluoride treatment may be performed after your cleaning if needed or requested.

Professional Dental Cleaning FAQs
How often do I need to get my teeth cleaned at the dentist?
Generally speaking, both adults and children are encouraged to have their teeth professionally cleaned twice per year (once every six months). However, this can vary for patients with certain dental or oral health conditions. After each of your dental exams and cleanings, our team will discuss the most appropriate follow-up schedule and when to schedule your next dental cleaning.
Will it hurt to get my teeth cleaned?
Having your teeth cleaned should not be painful or uncomfortable, though patients with certain dental and oral problems - like gum disease, for example - may experience increased sensitivity, bleeding gums, or discomfort at times. Our team is dedicated to patient comfort and safety, so please don't hesitate to let us know if you have dental anxiety or worries about pain during a dental cleaning, and we will discuss all of your available options at length.
How soon can I eat after having my teeth cleaned?
While it is generally safe and approrpiate to resume your normal daily activities - including eating and drinking - almost immediately after a dental cleaning, we may recommended waiting a few hours before eating or drinking anything, particularly if you have had a fluoride treatment, the placement of dental sealants, or another treatment or procedure performed at the time of your appointment.
