Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional dental cleanings remove this buildup and help prevent gum disease, cavities, and other dental concerns.
During your visit, our team in Gallatin, TN, checks for early signs of decay, gum inflammation, and tooth damage. Catching these issues early allows us to address them before they become bigger problems. Regular cleanings help you avoid more complex treatments like root canals, deep cleanings, or extractions down the road.
At Sumner Dental Group, we take a personalized approach to preventive care. Our team provides tailored oral hygiene recommendations and product suggestions based on your unique needs. We are here to answer your questions and help you understand all your preventive and cosmetic options.

Review
We start by reviewing your dental and medical history. We listen to any concerns or symptoms you have so we can tailor your appointment to your needs.
1
Cleaning
Using specialized tools, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline. This is the part that even the best at-home routine cannot fully replicate.
2
Polishing
An electric brush is used to polish your teeth and remove surface stains. You leave with a smooth, clean finish that feels noticeably fresh.
3
Flossing
We floss between every tooth to eliminate any remaining plaque or debris. We also take this opportunity to show you effective flossing techniques for your at-home routine.
4
X-Rays
When necessary, digital X-rays help us detect conditions that are not visible during the cleaning. This includes bone loss, cavities between teeth, and impacted teeth.
