Many patients believe brushing and flossing at home is enough—but even the most diligent routine can leave plaque and tartar behind. That’s why routine dental cleanings are a vital part of maintaining lifelong oral health.

At Willistead Family Dental in Windsor, we offer thorough, gentle cleanings tailored to your needs.

What Happens During a Professional Cleaning?

A dental cleaning goes beyond what your toothbrush can do. At your hygiene appointment, you can expect:

• Removal of plaque and tartar using professional instruments

• Polishing to smooth your enamel and help prevent future buildup

• Fluoride treatment (when recommended) to help protect against cavities

• Review of your brushing and flossing habits with personalized tips

How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?

Most individuals benefit from a cleaning every 6 months, though some may need more frequent visits based on gum health, medical history, or past dental concerns. We’ll tailor your care plan based on your unique needs.

Benefits of Regular Cleanings

1. Prevents gum disease by removing bacteria that cause inflammation

2. Helps detect issues early before they become complex or costly

3. Keeps breath fresher and teeth feeling smooth and clean

4. Supports overall health—oral bacteria have been linked to heart disease and diabetes

5. Reduces staining from coffee, tea, and other foods
