Clean Teeth Are Healthy Teeth

Even the most diligent brusher and flosser cannot remove all plaque and tartar from their teeth at home. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar (calculus) — a substance that can only be removed with professional instruments. If left untreated, tartar buildup leads to cavities, gum disease, and eventually tooth loss.

At Accent Family Dentistry in Angier, NC, our dental hygienist provides thorough, gentle cleanings that remove all plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean. Every cleaning is followed by a review of your home care routine and personalized tips to keep your smile healthy between visits.

We serve patients from Angier, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, Lillington, Holly Springs, Willow Spring, Coats, and Benson, NC.

What Happens During a Professional Cleaning?

Your cleaning begins with a gentle examination of your gums and teeth. Our hygienist then uses specialized instruments to carefully remove tartar deposits from all tooth surfaces, including below the gumline. Your teeth are then polished with a mildly abrasive paste that removes surface stains and leaves your teeth smooth.

After your cleaning, you'll receive a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and reduce sensitivity. The entire process typically takes 45–60 minutes and is comfortable for most patients.

How Often Do You Need a Dental Cleaning?

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. However, patients with gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or other risk factors may need cleanings every 3–4 months. Dr. Gong will recommend the right schedule for your specific needs.

Consistent, regular cleanings are one of the most cost-effective investments you can make in your oral health. Preventing problems is always less expensive — and less uncomfortable — than treating them.

FAQs

Professional Dental Cleanings in Angier, NC — Frequently Asked Questions

For most patients, professional cleanings are comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or significant tartar buildup, you may experience some mild discomfort. Let our hygienist know if you're uncomfortable at any point — we can adjust our technique or apply a topical anesthetic.

Professional cleanings remove surface stains and polish your teeth, which can make them appear brighter. However, cleanings are not a substitute for professional whitening treatments if you want to significantly lighten the shade of your teeth.

A regular (prophylaxis) cleaning is a preventive procedure for patients with healthy gums. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is a therapeutic procedure for patients with gum disease, involving cleaning below the gumline to remove bacteria and tartar from the root surfaces.

Most dental insurance plans cover two preventive cleanings per year at 100%. Our Accent Care Plan ($349/year) also includes two cleanings along with exams, X-rays, and fluoride treatment — no insurance required.

Yes. Gum disease and cavities often develop without causing noticeable symptoms until they become serious. Regular cleanings allow us to catch and address problems early, saving you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
