Professional Dental Cleaning in Rock Hill, SC
Expert Teeth Cleaning Services for Your Family's Oral Health
Regular dental cleanings are the foundation of excellent oral health. At Piedmont Dental in Rock Hill, we provide thorough, comfortable teeth cleaning services that prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems. Our experienced team makes every appointment efficient and stress-free for patients of all ages.
What to Expect During Your Cleaning Appointment
Your dental cleaning typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Our registered dental hygienist carefully removes plaque and tartar from your teeth and gum line using professional scaling tools. After scaling, we polish your teeth to create a smooth, clean surface that resists bacteria buildup.
Dr. Areheart then examines your teeth and gums to check for cavities, gum disease, and other concerns. This comprehensive approach catches problems early when they’re easiest to treat.
Most patients find cleanings comfortable and painless. Regular six-month appointments keep your teeth and gums healthy while preventing the longer, more intensive cleanings needed when too much time passes between visits.
Protecting Your Gums from Disease
Tartar buildup irritates your gums and causes gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease. You might notice bleeding when brushing or red, swollen gums. Without treatment, gingivitis advances to periodontal disease, which damages the bone supporting your teeth and can lead to tooth loss.
Professional cleanings remove the bacteria causing gum inflammation and allow us to monitor your gum health at every visit. Combining regular cleanings with daily brushing and flossing keeps your gums healthy and your teeth strong.
Dental Cleanings for Children
Starting dental cleanings early builds healthy habits that last a lifetime. Baby teeth need protection from cavities, which can cause pain and affect the permanent teeth developing underneath. Untreated decay may lead to infections and create spacing problems for adult teeth.
Dr. Areheart creates a welcoming environment where children feel comfortable and positive about dental care. We explain each step in age-appropriate terms and work gently to ensure every child has a great experience. Many of our young patients look forward to their cleaning appointments.
Maintaining Your Smile Between Visits
Brush your teeth at least twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, and floss once daily to remove plaque between teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach. These simple habits work together with professional cleanings to keep your mouth healthy.
Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months. Some people need more frequent visits based on their gum health, cavity risk, or other factors. Dr. Areheart will recommend the schedule that works best for your individual needs.
