About Dental Cleanings

Dental cleanings involve the removal of plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be addressed through brushing and flossing alone. Our team uses advanced tools to clean hard-to-reach areas, polish teeth and leave your mouth feeling fresh. These cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease and other oral health problems.

Advantages of routine dental cleanings include:

  • Prevention of Decay: Removing plaque reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease.
  • Improved Appearance: Cleanings eliminate surface stains, leaving teeth brighter.
  • Fresh Breath: Professional cleaning reduces bacteria that cause bad breath.
  • Enhanced Overall Health: Oral health is linked to overall health, and cleanings can lower the risk of systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

Dental exams are equally important, as they allow Dr. Brenda E. Howard to evaluate your oral health and identify any potential issues early. During an exam, we carefully inspect your teeth, gums and soft tissues for signs of decay, gum disease or oral cancer. X-rays may also be taken to provide a detailed view of your teeth and jaw.

Regular exams allow for early detection of problems, making treatments less invasive and more effective. Our team takes the time to discuss your oral health, address concerns and provide personalized recommendations for at-home care.

At Blissful Dental, we prioritize patient comfort and education. Our team strives to make every cleaning and exam a positive experience for patients of all ages, helping you maintain your oral health with confidence.
