Dental Cleanings

Maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile starts with regular dental cleanings. At Green Valley Dentistry in Henderson, NV, we offer comprehensive dental cleaning services designed to keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition. Regular cleanings not only help prevent cavities and gum disease but also contribute to your overall health by removing plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach.

Our practice, conveniently located in Henderson, serves patients from nearby areas such as Green Valley Ranch, Paradise, and beyond. Led by Dr. Elizabeth Day and Dr. Trevor Grandgenett, our experienced team is dedicated to providing gentle, thorough dental care in a welcoming environment.

Dental cleanings are a crucial part of maintaining your oral health. Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque can accumulate on your teeth over time, leading to tartar buildup. Tartar is a hardened form of plaque that can only be removed with professional dental tools. If not addressed, tartar can lead to gum disease, cavities, and other serious dental issues.

Regular dental cleanings offer several key benefits:

• Prevention of Gum Disease: Gum disease, or periodontal disease, begins with plaque and tartar buildup around the gum line. Regular cleanings help prevent the onset of gum disease by keeping your gums healthy and free from harmful bacteria.
• Early Detection of Dental Issues: During your cleaning appointment, our team will also perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, allowing us to detect any potential issues early. Early detection can prevent minor problems from becoming more serious.
• Fresher Breath: Plaque and tartar buildup can contribute to bad breath. A professional cleaning removes these deposits, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
• Brighter Smile: Regular cleanings help remove surface stains from your teeth, giving you a brighter, more polished smile.
  

At Green Valley Dentistry, we strive to make your dental cleaning experience as comfortable and effective as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

1. Thorough Examination

Before your cleaning begins, Dr. Day or Dr. Trevor will perform a comprehensive examination of your mouth. This includes checking your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We’ll look for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other potential issues that may require attention.

2. Plaque and Tartar Removal

Using specialized dental tools, our hygienist will carefully remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth, especially in areas that are hard to reach with regular brushing and flossing. This process is known as scaling and is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums.

3. Professional Flossing

After scaling, your teeth will be professionally flossed to remove any remaining debris between your teeth. This step helps to ensure that your teeth and gums are thoroughly cleaned.

4. Polishing

Next, we will polish your teeth using a high-powered electric brush and a gritty toothpaste-like material. This step helps to remove surface stains, giving your teeth a smooth, shiny finish.

5. Fluoride Treatment (Optional)

For added protection against cavities, we may recommend a fluoride treatment following your cleaning. Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent decay. The treatment is quick and painless, leaving your teeth protected for several months.

6. Oral Health Education

At the end of your cleaning, our team will provide you with personalized advice on how to maintain your oral health at home. We’ll discuss proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as any specific recommendations based on your individual needs.

How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?

For most patients, we recommend scheduling a dental cleaning every six months. However, if you have a history of gum disease or other oral health issues, we may suggest more frequent visits to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy.

At Green Valley Dentistry, we are committed to providing high-quality dental care in a comfortable and friendly environment. Dr. Day and Dr. Trevor bring years of experience and a passion for patient care to every appointment. Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or addressing a specific dental concern, you can trust our team to provide the gentle, personalized care you deserve.
