Dental Cleanings
The Best Dental
Cleaning in Brookhaven
Zooming in with a mirror, the dental hygienist here at BrookHaven Dental Associates uses a small mirror to check around your teeth and gums for any signs of gingivitis (inflamed gums) or other potential concerns.
He cleans your teeth using tools called curettes, which are used to gently scrape off the plaque build-up that can lead to cavities or gum disease if not removed regularly.
After Tartar has been removed from your teeth, the hygienist cleans them with a high-powered electric brush and a special polishing paste. The last step of this cleaning process is to apply fluoride treatment which stimulates strong enamel, helping prevent further decay

Wondering what the secret is to a fresh and sparkling smile? Well, while there is no single trick, regular dental cleanings can go a long way in protecting your oral health. They keep your smile bright for the long term. Brookhaven Dental Associates is all about brightening up your world – one beautiful smile at a time. Our professional cleaning services make this a reality.
About Our Dental Cleaning Services
Our dental cleaning services are professional treatments that involve thoroughly cleaning your teeth, removing stains and deposits that regular flossing and brushing might miss. They are an important part of preventive dental care, aimed at maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing issues like bad breath, gum disease, and cavities.
When your teeth have a lot of plaque and tartar, conditions are ideal for bacterial buildup. These can cause cavities or lead to inflammation, resulting in bad breath, gum disease and sensitive gums. Teeth cleaning treatments remove tartar, plaque, and bacteria buildup from your mouth.
Benefits of Professional Dental Cleaning Services
Brushing your teeth and flossing at home are great for maintaining good oral hygiene, but professional dental cleanings can achieve much more. For starters, hygienists use specialized equipment to access hard-to-reach places for a thorough clean. They use advanced cleaning solutions designed specifically to deal with tartar and plaque, which regular toothpaste cannot do.
Through professional dental cleanings, you can keep your gums healthy too and lower the risk of related complications such as stroke, diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory infections. Our dentists are experienced experts in this, and in addition to offering the best cleaning services, we take our time to educate you on how best to take care of your oral health.
In addition to the oral health benefits, professional cleanings also brighten your teeth by removing built-up stains. This gives your pearly whites a long-term aesthetic transformation. By getting this preventive service regularly, you get to save money that would have been used for more costly treatment procedures in the future.
What to Expect at Your Dental Cleaning Appointment
When you visit Brookhaven Dental Associates for a dental cleaning, we will start by examining your oral cavity to make sure that there are no abnormalities that require further investigation. Using a small mirror, a dental hygienist will check every corner of the mouth for signs of inflammation, cavities, cracked teeth, or broken fillings.
After making sure that all is well, they will use a tool known as a curette to gently remove plaque and tartar build-up. Next, they will use a high-power electric toothbrush and a special paste to clean the teeth thoroughly. The final step involves applying fluoride treatment to help prevent decay and strengthen the enamel.
