Dental Cleaning
At Monument Dental, we believe preventive care is the cornerstone of lifelong oral health. Regular dental cleanings not only help you maintain a confident smile but also protect your teeth and gums from serious conditions.
What Are Dental Cleanings?
A dental cleaning, or prophylaxis, is a professional service that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. While brushing and flossing at home are essential, professional cleanings reach areas that daily care cannot.
Why Dental Cleanings Are Important
What to Expect During a Cleaning
Our team will perform a thorough examination, take X-rays if needed, and gently remove plaque and tartar buildup. We’ll then polish your teeth for a smooth, clean finish and provide tips tailored to your oral care routine.
Benefits of Regular Cleanings
Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months, though some may need them more often.
Cleanings are typically painless. Patients with sensitive gums may experience mild discomfort, but our team takes every step to keep you comfortable.
