The Benefits of Dental Cleaning & Hygiene
Prevents Gum Disease
Regular cleanings help eliminate the bacteria and buildup that lead to gingivitis and more serious periodontal issues. Protecting your gums means protecting the foundation of your smile, and your overall health.
Brighter, Fresher Smile
Dental cleanings remove surface stains and plaque, instantly improving the color and freshness of your teeth. You’ll leave your appointment looking and feeling more confident almost immediately.
Detects Issues Early
During your hygiene visits, Dr. Cummings checks for early signs of cavities, oral cancer, and other concerns. With early detection, you avoid more extensive (and costly) treatment down the road.
What to Expect From Dental Cleaning & Hygiene
A Warm Welcome and Comprehensive Exam
From the moment you walk into our historic Hays Market location, you’ll be greeted with kindness and care. Your visit begins with a review of your dental and health history, followed by a gentle yet thorough exam. Dr. Cummings and your hygienist will assess the condition of your teeth and gums, using tools like digital X-rays or advanced scanning technology if necessary, all designed to ensure your experience is efficient, comfortable, and precise.
Thorough Yet Gentle Cleaning
Our hygienists are experienced in delivering cleanings that are both effective and comfortable. Using specialized instruments, they’ll carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup without causing discomfort. Polishing follows to eliminate surface stains, and a fluoride treatment may be applied for added protection.

After your cleaning, Dr. Cummings will sit down with you to review findings and make personalized recommendations. This might include brushing or flossing tips, information on diet, or suggestions for follow-up care if needed.
