Cleanings & Checkups in Charlotte, NC

Build a Healthier Smile With Preventive Dental Care

Regular dental cleanings and exams are an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. At V Dental Health, we provide preventive dental care to help patients manage plaque buildup, identify potential concerns, and maintain their oral health. A professional teeth cleaning removes deposits that brushing and flossing alone may not fully eliminate, while a dental examination allows our team to evaluate your teeth, gums, and other oral structures.

Dental Cleaning Defined

Before you visit Dr. V, our teeth cleaning dentist, you may be wondering, “What is a dental cleaning?” Our team performs this preventative procedure to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. It is a staple of oral hygiene for patients of all ages. We focus on two main types of dental cleaning at V Dental Health: prophylaxis and dental deep cleaning.

  • Prophylaxis: This routine cleaning is recommended biannually for patients with healthy gums. It involves removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can’t tackle.
  • Dental Deep Cleaning: On the other hand, this deep cleaning procedure is for patients with gum disease. It is more extensive than prophylaxis and can require multiple visits.

The benefits of dental cleanings are numerous, ranging from fresher breath and a whiter smile to reduced risk of tooth decay and enhanced overall health. This regimen does more than just shield your pearly whites—it’s also a defense against a host of potential long-term health concerns, including gum disease, cardiovascular conditions, strokes, pregnancy-related complications, and more.  Additionally, regular cleanings allow dentists to detect potential problems early, making treatments more manageable.

Our Teeth Cleaning Process

Dental cleanings and exams are vital components of maintaining oral health and include several key steps.

1

Exam

First, the process begins with a thorough examination where one of our dental hygienists checks for signs of decay, gum disease, and other potential issues.

2

Cleaning

Following the exam, our capable hygienists remove plaque and tartar build-up. If left untreated, tartar accumulation can lead to cavities and gum disease.

3

Patient Education

Post-cleaning, our hygienists focus on patient education, providing advice on proper teeth brushing and flossing techniques to ensure effective at-home oral hygiene.

4

Optional Anti-Cavity Treatment

Next, we offer optional anti-cavity treatments, such as fluoride and dental sealants, to further protect your teeth against decay.

5

Annual Oral Cancer Screening

Finally, an annual oral cancer screening is available to identify any early signs of cancer in adults.

With our in-depth cleanings and dental exams, you and your family can rest assured that both your dental and overall health are safeguarded.
