Teeth Cleaning An Overview
Manassas Smiles recommends that patients of all ages visit our Centreville, VA dentist office twice a year for a professional teeth cleaning as part of comprehensive disease prevention. A dental cleaning performed by our highly trained dental hygienists can offer thorough removal of plaque from all tooth surfaces, preventing tooth decay and the development of gum disease. While your teeth are being cleaned, itā€™s also a good opportunity for Dr. Nadder Hassan and his staff to screen for any signs of other problems such as gum disease or tooth decay.
Teeth Cleaning and Dental Anxiety
It has been estimated that 3 out of every 10 American adults avoid their regular dentist appointments because of fear and anxiety. Dental anxiety is a condition that prevents people from getting the dental care they need. Avoiding the dentist can lead to more complicated oral health concerns requiring advanced dental treatments. Routine dental health exams and cleanings can help keep your teeth clean and healthy and may prevent the need for further dental care, meaning less time in the dentistā€™s chair.
For patients with dental anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry options. You can receive sedation dentistry even for a routine teeth cleaning to help you feel relaxed during your treatment. Dr. Hassan will discuss sedation options with the patients before their procedure. Our Centreville, VA dentist office is also designed to be a comfortable and relaxing environment.
