We emphasize the importance of maintaining oral health through regular professional dental cleanings and exams. Our dentists and team provide thorough cleanings to help prevent dental diseases and ensure that your smile remains healthy and vibrant. 

What is a Professional Dental Cleaning?

A professional dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is performed by a skilled hygienist in our office. This routine procedure is crucial for removing plaque and tartar that cannot be eliminated by brushing and flossing alone. It may include scaling, root planing and polishing, which contribute to maintaining gum health and preventing periodontal disease.

Benefits of Professional Dental Cleanings:

  • Disease Prevention: Reduces the risk of periodontal disease, tooth decay and even oral cancer.
  • Early Detection of Dental Issues: Allows for the early identification of problems such as cavities, broken fillings and gum disease.
  • Aesthetic Improvement: Removes stains and build-up that discolor teeth, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile.
  • Fresh Breath: Helps combat halitosis (bad breath) by removing debris and bacteria.

Recommended Frequency:

  • Routine Visits: It is recommended that patients visit New Hampshire Center for Comprehensive Dentistry every six months for a professional cleaning, although Dr. Hajra Sheikh, Dr. Usman Javed, Dr. Lucas Patrick and Dr. Maria Rejon may suggest more frequent visits depending on individual oral health needs.
