CHERRY STREET DENTAL
The Foundation of Oral Health
Regular professional dental cleanings at Cherry Street Dental are essential for maintaining optimal oral health for patients throughout Flushing, Grand Blanc, and Genesee County. During your cleaning appointment with Ashley, our gentle hygienist, we remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't eliminate.
What to Expect During Your Cleaning: Professional cleanings involve scaling to remove hardened tartar, polishing to remove surface stains, and fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel. Ashley uses ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments to thoroughly clean above and below the gum line, paying special attention to areas where plaque commonly accumulates.
Benefits of Regular Cleanings:
Prevention of cavities and gum disease
Early detection of oral health problems
Removal of stains for a brighter smile
Fresh breath and improved overall oral hygiene
Reduced risk of heart disease and other systemic health issues
Frequency Recommendations: Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months, though Dr. Pratt may recommend more frequent visits for patients with gum disease, diabetes, or other risk factors. Regular cleanings are covered by most insurance plans, making preventive care affordable for Flushing families.
