Overview
Even if you brush and floss your teeth daily, deposits of tartar and plaque can still collect on the teeth and gums. To remove these deposits and keep your oral health in check, it's important to receive at least two professional dental cleanings a year. Using state-of-the-art tools, a bi-annual professional teeth cleaning removes built-up plaque and tartar and polishes the enamel to produce a brighter, healthier smile. After your cleaning, you will get tips from our team that will help you care for your teeth at home. You will also learn if there are any areas of your mouth that may require special attention, such as the molars. A professional dental cleaning will give our team of experienced dentists the opportunity to identify any problem areas that may require treatment. Receiving a professional dental cleaning is an important aspect of every oral health routine so be sure to schedule an appointment for yourself and your family at our Cromwell, CT office. Our staff at Preferred Dental of Cromwell will make you feel comfortable and at ease all throughout your visit.
Best Candidates
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that all people receive professional dental cleanings at least twice a year. Babies should have their first dental exam before they turn one. After this, our team will help you determine when your child is ready for their next dental appointment. Prophylaxis cleanings are an excellent treatment for cavity prevention. Our dental hygienists use advanced tools to scale and polish the teeth, removing plaque and tartar deposits. A dental cleaning can also address tartar and stains on the enamel. If you’d like to brighten your smile, freshen your breath, boost your health, and save money in the long run, schedule a cleaning for yourself and every member of your family at Preferred Dental of Cromwell.
What To Expect
A professional cleaning begins with removing the plaque and tartar that have collected on your teeth, which can be difficult to treat on your own, no matter how often you brush and floss. Special instruments are used to carefully scale buildup without harming the tooth. First, an ultrasonic device addresses bigger chunks of tartar and plaque with high-speed vibrations and a lubricating mist. Then, handheld instruments (like a curette or scaler) will be used to remove smaller pieces. Each tooth needs to be individually scaled to ensure that all of the tartar and plaque is expelled. Once the teeth have been cleaned, the enamel will be polished to remove stains and strengthen the teeth. At this point, our dentists may apply a fluoride treatment for additional protection against tooth decay.
Preferred Dental of Cromwell Reviews
Needed a cleaning done badly. My friend who recommended me here is a hygienist. Kaylee was really professional. I have really bad gums and she was very gentle! The areas that were inflamed; she would let me know I was gonna feel it. Other hygienist that I used to go to would attack my teeth so viciously. If you need a cleaning done, ask for Kaylee! I put 4 stars because I had an appointment that I made sure I was available. At some point, the week of I was informed I wasn’t on the schedule. I hit them up, and they said the system removed me. So I had to wait another month which was inconveniencing. Other than that it’s clean and everyone was professional.
First time being here and I was completely satisfied. Doctors and hygienists were knowledgable and welcoming. Receptionists were very nice. Erica was super patient, gave info on the office, explained the process, and did a great job cleaning my teeth. Ellis did an amazing job on confidently removing my teeth gems that were needed to come off. Although, I was nervous they made sure I was happy with what I was walking out with. I will be returning and bringing my little one in as well. Thanks, guys!!
My teeth cleaning was the best that’s been done in years. Genesis, at the front desk, is extremely helpful and knows how to get things done, my favorite!
Just got my cleaning done, and everything from the customer service to the dental work was perfect as always. The staff are always friendly and helpful every time I have come, and unlike other dentists, they never cause me any pain while I'm getting my teeth worked on. My hygienist was absolutely lovely and very friendly. Would definitely recommend coming here if you need a new dentist!
My family has been coming here for years for cleanings and we all agree it’s always great. the staff are kind, the place is clean, and they do a great job.
