Preventative Care

Professional Dental Cleaning

At Dental Esthetics Boston, your trusted dentist in Boston, we are committed to helping you achieve and maintain optimal oral health through professional dental cleanings and preventive care. Our highly trained registered dental hygienists deliver courteous, thorough, and knowledgeable dental cleanings—also known as dental prophylaxis—in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

​

Your dental cleaning appointment, along with a comprehensive dental exam, includes the following essential steps:

​

  • Removal of calculus (tartar): Tartar is hardened plaque that adheres to the tooth surface both above and below the gum line. Our hygienists use specialized dental instruments to gently and effectively remove tartar to prevent gum irritation and bone loss.

  • Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky bacterial film composed of food debris, bacteria, and saliva. If left untreated, plaque can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease. During your cleaning, our team will thoroughly eliminate plaque to support long-term gum and tooth health.

  • Teeth polishing: Using a gentle polishing technique, we remove surface stains and any remaining plaque, leaving your teeth smooth, clean, and refreshed.

  • Radiographs (X-rays): When needed, we take bitewing or periapical radiographs to assess the internal condition of the teeth, jawbone, and other anatomical structures not visible to the eye.

  • Oral hygiene instructions: After your cleaning, our hygienists will provide personalized tips for brushing, flossing, and dietary habits to help maintain a healthy smile between visits.

​

At Dental Esthetics Boston, we understand that prevention is the foundation of lifelong oral health. Our experienced team recommends dental cleanings every four to six months, depending on your unique periodontal status. As your dedicated Boston dentist, we also perform comprehensive dental exams to screen for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns during each hygiene appointment.
