A professional cleaning will give our team the opportunity to look for any problem areas in the mouth that may need care.

Who is a good candidate for dental cleanings?
The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends patients schedule professional dental cleanings two times a year. Infants should have a dental exam before they turn one, and following that, our dental team will help you determine when your child is ready for their next dental appointment. A professional cleaning can help you avoid cavities since plaque buildup, the biggest cause of tooth decay is removed. A dental cleaning will also remove stains and tartar from your teeth. If you’d like to freshen your breath, brighten your smile, improve your overall health, and save money in the long run, make an appointment for a professional cleaning for your whole family at Hope Family Dentistry.
Hope Family Dentistry Reviews
I felt very safe at my dentist appointment today. I was the only patient in the waiting room and was brought to my own room after a very short wait. Anna, as always, did a terrific job cleaning my teeth. And Dr. Hope is an excellent dentist with a great chair-side manner. Everyone had masks and face shields, and hand sanitizer was readily available.
I am 50 years old and I have been seeing Dr. Hope since I was a teenager. I drive an hour to get my cleaning twice a year because he is absolutely the best dentist around. He staff is also amazing.
I’m a new patient of Dr Hope and his staff I have never been one to be willing to go to the dentist, I have had multiple visits for filling . Dr Hope and his staff are amazing! Comfortable and zero pain. That goes for my cleanings too. Thank you for your great work . Nickolas Miller

What should I expect from a dental cleaning?
A professional cleaning starts by addressing the plaque and tartar buildup on your enamel, which can be hard to treat on your own no matter how often you brush and floss. Professional instruments are used to carefully scale buildup without harming the tooth. To start, a device with ultrasonic technology breaks up bigger chunks of plaque and tartar with a lubricating mist and high-speed vibrations. Then, handheld instruments like a scaler or curette will remove any remaining buildup. Each tooth needs to be individually scaled to get all the tartar and plaque. After the teeth have been scaled, the enamel will be polished to remove stains and strengthen the teeth. A fluoride treatment will be completed following the cleaning if requested or needed.
What happens after a dental cleaning?
Our dental team may recommend cleanings more often if you have other oral health concerns, such as periodontal disease. During your cleaning, our dental team can help you develop a home routine for good oral health by recommending dental products and demonstrating techniques that will focus on your specific concerns. These are advantageous for your teeth, wallet, and overall health, so make sure you attend your dental cleanings at Hope Family Dentistry.
