Reviews
How Often Should I Get My Teeth Cleaned?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that everyone should have a professional cleaning a minimum of two times a year. A prophylactic cleaning helps to minimize your risk of cavities because plaque buildup (the leading cause of tooth decay) is removed. A professional cleaning also removes stains and tartar accumulation on your enamel which can make your smile look yellow. If you’d like to brighten your smile, keep your breath fresh, and stay proactive with your dental health, schedule a professional cleaning for everyone in your family at our practice in Washington, DC.
What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
A dental cleaning appointment begins when you are comfortably seated in a plush treatment chair with built-in massage features. After sliding on a pair of our stylish MINT sunglasses to cover your eyes, a highly qualified member of the MINT team will start by addressing the plaque and tartar deposits that have accumulated on your enamel. Cutting-edge dental equipment and modern techniques are used by our team to remove plaque and tartar accumulation without harming your enamel or causing you distress. To start, an ultrasonic tool that emits a water mist and high-speed vibrations might be used to gently clear away debris. Then, a hand scaling instrument, like a curette or scaler, will be needed to address smaller pieces of tartar and plaque. Every tooth will be treated for optimal results. Once your teeth are clean, your enamel will be polished to diminish stains and brighten up your teeth. If requested or recommended, a fluoride treatment may be done following the cleaning process.
Throughout your dental cleaning, the MINT dentistry team will work to ensure you feel fully relaxed. From massaging treatment chairs to Beats headphones and advanced dental tools, it will be such a posh experience you may forget that you used to dread going to the dentist! Our boutique Washington, DC dental office was thoughtfully designed with our patients in mind, creating a modern, upscale environment that allows you the ultimate comfort.
After Your Dental Cleaning
A dental cleaning is typically recommended at least twice a year, except in cases when other dental health conditions would benefit from having your teeth cleaned on a more frequent basis. During your cleaning at MINT dentistry in Washington, DC, our team will help you create a good at-home dental care regimen by showing you techniques or suggesting products that may help you with your specific needs. A team member will also go over the steps on how to get the best results from your home whitening kit, so your smile can be bright and sexy all year long. A follow-up appointment might be scheduled if a procedure is recommended for an urgent problem. Otherwise, MINT dentistry simply requests that you schedule cleanings twice a year.
The MINT Commitment
Bi-annual cleanings are considered a preventive procedure so it's usually covered by dental insurance. A member of our team will reach out to your provider to determine your specific coverage before we calculate any out-of-pocket costs. If you don't have insurance, please ask a team member for more information on the MINT Discount Plan. It will give you the same pricing we give to those with PPO insurance on treatments, plus no charge for digital x-rays and your annual exam. MINT dentistry is dedicated to helping all our patients get a sexy smile they love. We work diligently to help Washington, DC patients of all ages and life circumstances afford the dental care they deserve. If you need help affording dental care for yourself or your family, contact our office.
