Maintain Optimal Oral Health with Professional Cleanings

Regular and deep dental cleanings are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. At Ashland Family and Implant Dentistry, our professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, helping keep your teeth and gums healthy. Combined with a thorough dental exam, these cleanings allow Dr. Ali Almaawi, DDS, FICOI to detect and address potential problems early.

How Regular and Deep Cleanings Work

During a regular cleaning, our hygienists carefully remove plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and along the gumline, followed by polishing to restore smoothness and shine. Deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, is recommended for patients showing signs of gum disease. This procedure involves a more thorough cleaning below the gumline to remove plaque and bacteria from periodontal pockets. Both procedures are painless, and we provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure optimal oral health.

Why Choose Professional Cleanings

Regular and deep cleanings are key to preventing serious dental issues and maintaining a healthy, confident smile. At Ashland Family and Implant Dentistry, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Ali Almaawi, DDS, FICOI, our team combines preventive care with patient education to help you maintain strong teeth and healthy gums. Call us at 508-881-7700 to schedule your cleaning and ensure your smile stays healthy for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get a regular cleaning?

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. Patients with gum disease or higher risk factors may require more frequent visits to maintain optimal oral health.

What is the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?

A regular cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar above the gumline, while a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) cleans below the gumline to treat and prevent gum disease. Dr. Ali Almaawi, DDS, FICOI determines the appropriate type based on your oral health needs.

Is a deep cleaning painful?

Deep cleanings are typically performed with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or soreness afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
