What is a Dental Cleaning?
Even if you have a perfect oral hygiene routine at home, it is still important for you to have a professional cleaning at Leah Thompson Gagnon, DMD, PA twice a year. Using advanced equipment, a dental cleaning treats tartar and plaque that has built up while polishing your enamel for a healthier, brighter smile. During your cleaning, you can ask for tips on better home oral care and learn if any areas need more care. A dental cleaning will give Dr. Leah Gagnon the opportunity to check for any areas of concern in your mouth that might need treatment. Having a professional cleaning is an important step in maintaining your oral health so schedule an appointment at our Niceville, FL location.
What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
A professional cleaning will begin by removing the plaque and tartar deposits on your enamel, which is challenging to treat at home no matter how often you brush and floss. Advanced equipment is used to scale buildup without harming the tooth. First, a device with ultrasonic technology loosens large chunks of plaque and tartar with a lubricating mist and high-speed vibrations. Then, handheld instruments, such as a curette or scaler, will remove any remaining buildup. Every tooth needs to be treated individually to get all the plaque and tartar. Once your teeth have been cleaned, the enamel will be carefully polished to remove stains and strengthen the teeth. A professional fluoride treatment can be completed after the cleaning if needed.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Cleanings?
Niceville, FL individuals who receive routine oral cleanings can anticipate benefits following their appointment, such as:
- Lessening of tartar and plaque accrual
- Stopping problems, such as cavities or separate issues before they advance
- Chance to choose fluoride treatment to bolster and shield dental health
- Enhancement of overall tooth health and aesthetic
Leah Thompson Gagnon, DMD, PA Reviews
I hadn't been in for a cleaning in a long time, due to personal circumstances, and I was welcomed here without judgement. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and I learned more about how to take better care of my teeth! Highly recommend them for any dental needs :)
After going to Aspen Dental (Niceville, Fl) for an annual exam, I was told I needed emergency periodontal cleaning at the cost of $2500. They also gave me a non-deployable rating which interfered with my career. I called Dr. Gagnon's office and they were able to get me in right away for a second opinion. Turns out that there was no need for anything other than a normal cleaning and took care of that right away. I appreciate the care and honesty that I recieved from Dr Gagnon and her whole staff. They are friendly professional and make you feel like a part of a family. I cannot thank you enough and I will never stray again!
Dr Gagnon’s office is the best. The front desk personnel are helpful and pleasant. The hygienist I had today was so sweet and did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. Zero complaints. Best dentist office!
I recommend Dr. Gagnon to anyone asking about a good dentist. I've always had anxiety about going to the dentist but I sort of look forward to going now. Mea is the best hygienist I've ever had. She is personable and funny, not all business. Gives a great cleaning, my teeth feel so great after leaving. Dr. Gagnon is the same, always smiling. I will continue to come here and when we move in the future, I will probably drive back and make it a day trip. It's hard to find a great dentist and when you do, you stick with them. See ya'll in the new year!
In the last 3 months I have had all of my teeth cleaned, 2 fillings replaced and (my first crown) 1 crown completed. Dr. Gagnon's dental expertise was excellent and the service from ALL of her staff was outstanding. My teethe look better than they have in years. Additionally, within the last week my husband had a cleaning and 1 filling done, also a great experience! We are both very pleased.
