Dental Cleanings in Reston, VA

Keep Your Smile Healthy and Bright with Routine Care

Keeping your smile healthy starts with regular dental cleanings. At Aglow Dental Studio, we provide thorough cleanings and professional dental exams to help patients across Reston, Sterling, Herndon, and Northern Virginia maintain optimal oral health. Led by Dr. Rosemary Ahanor, our team is committed to helping you prevent problems before they start and ensuring your smile stays bright and strong for life.

Why Dental Cleanings Matter

Dental cleanings go beyond what you can achieve at home with brushing and flossing. During your professional cleaning at Aglow Dental Studio, we remove hardened plaque (tartar) that can lead to cavities, gum disease, and other serious oral health issues. Cleanings also allow us to detect any early warning signs of concerns when they are easiest to treat.

Benefits of regular cleanings include:

• Reduced risk of tooth decay and gum disease
• Fresher breath and brighter teeth
• Early detection of oral health issues during dental exams
• Protection of your overall health, as oral health is closely linked to systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes

What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning and Exam

When you visit Aglow Dental Studio for your dental cleaning, you can expect a thorough and comfortable experience:

1. Professional Cleaning:
   Our hygienists carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth to remove surface stains, and floss between teeth for a complete clean.
2. Comprehensive Dental Exam:
   Dr. Ahanor performs a detailed dental exam to assess the health of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. Digital dental X-rays may be taken to detect issues that are not visible to the naked eye.
3. Oral Cancer Screening:
   Every exam includes an oral cancer screening to ensure early detection of any unusual changes.
4. Personalized Oral Health Advice:
   We provide guidance on brushing, flossing, diet, and lifestyle habits that impact your oral health, helping you maintain your best smile between visits.
   

How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?

Most patients should schedule dental cleanings every six months to maintain optimal oral health. However, those with a history of gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, or other dental concerns may benefit from more frequent visits.

If you are due for your next cleaning or have not visited the dentist in a while, we invite you to schedule an appointment and experience our gentle, personalized care.
