Professional Teeth Cleaning for a Healthier Smile

Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. At Aesthetic Smiles in Meridian, ID, Dr. Wade Pilling and Dr. Jordan Pilling provide thorough, professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains while also checking for any early signs of dental issues. Whether it's your routine dental exam or your first visit in a while, our team ensures a comfortable, stress-free experience to keep your smile looking and feeling its best.

Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?

Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth over time. A professional teeth cleaning removes these harmful deposits, preventing cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems. Benefits of routine dental cleanings include:

• Prevention of Cavities – Plaque buildup is the leading cause of tooth decay. Regular cleanings help prevent cavities before they start.
• Healthier Gums – Removing tartar reduces the risk of gingivitis and gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss if untreated.
• Fresher Breath – Plaque, tartar, and bacteria can cause bad breath. A professional teeth cleaning leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
• Brighter Smile – Cleanings remove surface stains, helping your teeth appear whiter and brighter.
• Early Detection of Dental Issues – Routine dental exams allow our dentists to catch potential problems before they become serious.

What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning

1. Oral Examination – Before the cleaning, our team will examine your teeth and gums to check for any concerns such as cavities, gum disease, or other dental issues.
2. Plaque and Tartar Removal – A dental hygienist will use specialized tools to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth.
3. Deep Teeth Cleaning and Polishing – Your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned and polished to remove surface stains and restore their natural shine.
4. Flossing and Fluoride Treatment – Flossing helps remove any remaining plaque, and a fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen your enamel and prevent future cavities.
5. Comprehensive Dental Exam – Dr. Wade Pilling or Dr. Jordan Pilling will review your oral health and discuss any necessary treatments or preventive care recommendations.

For patients with dental anxiety, we also offer sedation dentistry to ensure a comfortable experience.

How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?

Most patients should have a dental cleaning and dental exam every six months to maintain optimal oral health. However, patients with gum disease or other dental concerns may need more frequent visits. Our team will recommend a cleaning schedule that best suits your needs.
