Professional Dental Cleanings in Sandy Springs, GA

At Proud Smiles, we make your visit thorough and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:

1. Initial Examination (Dental Exam): Dr. Patel or a dental hygienist will check your teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease, and other concerns.
2. Removing Plaque and Tartar: Your hygienist carefully removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and along the gumline (scaling) to help prevent cavities and gum disease.
3. Polishing Your Teeth: We polish away surface stains and smooth the enamel to make plaque less likely to stick.
4. Flossing: We floss between teeth to clear remaining debris and reach spots a toothbrush can’t.
5. Fluoride Treatment (When Needed): If it’s right for you, fluoride helps strengthen enamel and lower cavity risk.

Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings
